Summer Getaways
Loving the Valley means seeing it in your rearview mirror from time to time – especially when the mercury hits triple digits. So in the spirit of sweet summer relief, we present seven weekend roadtrips to cooler climes, featuring every place to eat, drink, shop and escape along the way.


Hidden Cultures: The Middle East
Though not celebrated for its diversity, Phoenix is a cultural melting pot like any other major city. In the second of a three part series, we bring you face to face with the Valley’s Iranian, Iraqi and Syrian communities.  


Vision of the Valley
Amateur and semi-pro shutterbugs compete in PHOENIX magazine’s second annual reader photo contest, this year featuring lightning strikes in Gilbert, galloping ponies in Scottsdale and enough “magic hour” loveliness to tide you over until the next great Arizona sunset.
