Scottsdale was famous as a vacation spot long before it became a city. Not many years ago, it was a crossroads where cowboys rode in on Saturday nights along the unpaved trails to celebrate the end of the week. Now it is considered the shopping and art center of the Valley of the Sun.
Geographically, Scottsdale covers about 185 square miles and has some of the country's most exclusive and expensive resorts within its boundaries. The area is renowned for its five star luxury golf and spa resorts and is one of the most popular wellness destinations in the United States.
