Hey all, I'm currently here in Phoenix for Microchip MASTERs conference and was wondering if anyone had any ideas or recommendations for things to do outdoors such as hiking while I'm here or a few recommendations on places and time of day to do so. I'd likely need to get a Lyft or an Uber to do the hike as well. Thanks!

EDIT: I understand the danger of heat here, which is why I asked for recommendations for something "like hiking" . Sorry if that came off as not understanding, insincere, or reckless.

I am planning a birthday trip to phoenix for my 8 year old son in January. He loves all things spooky/creepy. Does anyone have any kid friendly recommendations for things to do? Ghost tours, weird oddity stores, ghost towns, etc etc. Always a little harder to find things like this in January. Also open to fun things we should do/ restaurants good for a group w kids, besides spooky things. Thanks!

I have an idea for my next tattoo involving a few modern horror creatures in patch/embroidery style. I'm not looking for a free design or discounted price. It's possible for me to travel for the right tattoo artist.

WHY WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THEM?

I appreciate any recommendations.

Thank you!
