Hello Redditors of Scottsdale. I’m a big fan of hiking, especially at the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, but it turns out I’ve been spoiled by the southern area trail map, because the northern one doesn’t have a spot listing trail lengths and difficulties. I find these tools really helpful when gaging what to hike, so if someone has any onsite map photos from Northern Trailheads (Pima Dynamite, Brown’s Ranch, Fraesfield, or Granite Mountain) (the ones showing routes or trail listings) or some other way of learning trail length and difficulty that isn’t seeing all three northern trails listed on AllTrails that would be helpful. Thank you!

First Christmas in Scottsdale, where does everyone get their trees from?

I will be moving to Scottsdale this upcoming year, as title says. I am a single male, no kids. So I want to get a nice cozy house but need the run down on the different areas in Scottsdale. Obviously will only be myself but I will have guests frequently so a 3bed/2bath would be ideal. Nothing extravagant, but not cheap either. Any recommendations ? Do enjoy going out at night.

I would like to go to a spa with a few friends (males) and use the saunas, steam rooms, and/or pool for about half the day. Want to be able to purchase a day pass without needing to buy a massage or anything. Nice views/outdoor ambiance is appreciated.

Any places in Scottsdale that you'd recommend for this?

Does anybody know what’s going on with Handlebar J? I know that a year or two ago the kitchen burned down or something and they had a food truck outside instead of serving food but I’m sure by now all that’s reset and recovered. Has anyone been there lately? Should I try and go back? Thinking about Friday night? TIA

Looking for a platonic relationship as I am in nursing school. Dinner, movies, concerts etc.

Wondering if anyone has suggestions for a decent [Reasonable timeframe, quality work etc.] chevy service department. Preferably a dealership service department because my car is still under warranty.

So i just got flashed my a red light camera in paradise valley in my moms car tonight. I was trying to fly past some friends with my lights off and didn’t see the camera and got hit at 88 in a 40 (irresponsible I know dont tell me) I just have some questions. What is the likeliness that i get served, how much is the ticket going to be, can you get a criminal ticket from a photo radar, and is there anyway she can fight it in court considering that i was the one driving and not her.

Edit: look, i know its beyond stupid to this and I strongly regret it. There are a few factors that make it a sliver of the way better but it doesn’t at all excuse it. 1 i the car is a very fast bmw so it gets to that speed very quickly and has amazing brakes, its not like i was flying that fast forever. 2 there were zero other cars on the road besides me and said friends car. Again, this is still inexcusable and dumb but im already insanely stressed and upset with myself. I would rather not get flamed by everyone. I realize how absolutely stupid this was. Im sorry

I just paid $5 per shirt!?

How are the meetings/how is the sobriety in Scottsdale? Looking to get a routine going!

I’ve been wondering for years now what’s taking so long for the house on the NW corner of Chaparral & Scottsdale rd. To finish building. Anyone know? I drive past it every day and it’s been under construction for literally years now.
