Travelers to Scottsdale and Phonenix in Arizona are heading into the "Valley of the Sun," where the cities get more than 325 sun-filled days per year. The sunny weather is great news for outdoor enthusiasts who may be interested in golfing the Encanto Park or Grayhawk Country Club courses, tubing the Usery Pass or heading up in the air with the Unicorn (hot air) Balloon Company. Save money on your trip by booking an inexpensive motel room. Throughout Sun Valley, motels offer comfortable accommodations at a price that gives you more money to see the Desert Botanical Garden, Heard Museum and Pueblo Grand Archaeological Park.
