I did an image search and found results for Hyatt Regency Resort.

Wow that's a cool picture. I'll have to look into a night hike.


Would have been cooler if it wasn't on a 5MP camera phone

I have a nice DSLR camera now and next time I am town I am going to try and do a long exposure from Squaw Peek. I'll post it.

Where do you park at? Aren't the gates to that area closed at night?


There is a parking lot right outside the gates we've always parked in and just walk in. They leave the exit gate open for people, just can't go through because of spikes. Technically I dont think you should be up there but never heard of a problem from anyone. We got stopped one time in HS but they just wanted to make sure we weren't doing drugs then let us go

My old HS threw this up on their facebook page and thought it was incredible. I'd love to learn how to do something like this

I usually park there regardless. Such a horrible mistake to try and navigate those narrow parking lots when there isn't a spot.


Check out that video linked above. It really is worth the view

If Guy Fieri and Kato Kaelin had a kid that was a city, it would be Scottsdale.

I'm looking forward to it, just wish I could stay a little longer. Trying to talk the company that actually owns the building into letting me shoot the rest of the place (not just the cabinet installation) so that I can get another day out of the deal. Never been to AZ, but I have quite a few photog buddies that way that always post amazing sunsets and building twilight photos.

The guy that's sending me there told me to bring my golf bag because it's some of the best in the country. Not too often I'd get to play desert courses.

If you golf this time of year expect to pay big. But, if you do you should play at least one of these courses--you can thank me later.

Top tier
Troon North (2 courses both great)
The Boulders (2 courses both great)
Quintero
Seven Canyons (in Sedona)

Second tier
Dinosaur Mountain
Greyhawk (talon course)
Sanctuary/McDowell Mtn
Eagle Mountain
We-Ko-Pa
Lookout Mountain
The Phoenician
Legend Trail

I didn't put any fully private courses here.

I'd avoid Kierland as it's way overpriced for what you get, and Camelback both courses aren't special enough for a vacation round.
