This is the Original first "craft" coffee hang in Phoenix. It is an absolutely fantastic place for people watching. It is like going to the human zoo to see the absurd to the beautiful. The food is great, the coffee is great and the cocktails are great. This makes for a nice lightrail jaunt from my place to LUX to see some of Downtown Phoenix.

The Apache Trail begins near the superstition mountains and rounds around the range and brings you back through the other side. It is a fantastic 1/2 to full day car exploration of some incredible terrain. It is mostly paved and turns in to a well graded dirt road that can be done in a sedan. Extraordinary during wild flower season and common to see Rams and other wildlife. It passes several lakes and Roosevelt dam. Stop at Tortilla flat for some grub!
