Scottsdale, Arizona Conference Completed
October 29 - November 3, 2007 Western CPE - picture of Scottsdale, Arizona

Come experience one of the most exciting cities in America! Scottsdale has something for everyone—outdoor recreation, superb dining, world-class shopping, Native American and cowboy cultures, incredible art galleries, luxurious spas, and an energetic nightlife.

From rolling green fairways to cactus-studded desert layouts, Scottsdale offers golfers of all skill levels nearly 200 courses from which to choose. If you can tear yourself away from golf, you can go hot air ballooning, river rafting, off-roading on a Sonoran Desert tour, horseback riding, or on a desert ecotour. Unique attractions make Scottsdale even more appealing, including Taliesin West, Frank Lloyd Wright’s personal home and architectural campus; Rawhide Wild West Town & Steakhouse, featuring gunfights, stagecoach rides, cookouts, gold panning, shops, and more; the Phoenix Zoo, home to more than 1,300 animals; and the beautiful Desert Botanical Garden.
