During your Phoenix vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

The Phoenix Zoo
Forget about polar bears and other cold-climate creatures; this zoo focuses its attention primarily on animals that come from climates similar to that of the Phoenix area (although the rainforest exhibit is a definite exception). Most impressive of the displays are the African savanna and the baboon colony. The Southwestern exhibits are also of interest, as are the giant Galápagos tortoises. All animals are kept in naturalistic enclosures, and what with all the palm trees and tropical vegetation, the zoo sometimes manages to make you forget that this really is the desert.

Picacho Peak State Park
Alternatively, if you're heading to Tucson by way of I-10, and it isn't too hot outside, consider a stop at this state park, 35 miles northwest of Tucson at Exit 219. Picacho Peak, a wizard's cap of rock rising 1,500 feet above the desert, is a visual landmark for miles around. Hiking trails lead around the lower slopes of the peak and up to the summit; these trails are especially popular in spring, when the wildflowers bloom (the park is known as one of the best places in Arizona to see wildflowers). In addition to its natural beauty, Picacho Peak was the site of the only Civil War battle to take place in the state. Each March, Civil War reenactments are staged here. Campsites in the park cost $12 to $22.

Goldfield Ghost Town
Over on the east side of the valley, just 4 miles northeast of Apache Junction, you'll find a reconstructed 1890s gold-mining town. Although it's a bit of a tourist trap -- gift shops, an ice-cream parlor, and the like -- it's also home to the Superstition Mountain Museum (tel. 480/983-4888), which has interesting exhibits on the history of the area. Of particular note is the exhibit on the Lost Dutchman gold mine, perhaps the most famous mine in the country despite the fact that its location is unknown. Goldfield Mine Tours provides guided tours of the gold mine beneath the town. The Superstition Scenic Narrow Gauge Railroad circles the town, and the Goldfield Livery (tel. 480/982-0133) offers horseback riding and carriage rides. If you're here at lunchtime, you can get a meal at the steakhouse/saloon.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the Phoenix area, including:

Royal Palms Resort and Spa
This place is so romantic and beautiful that the moment you set foot in the first cloistered garden, you just might imagine you hear a flamenco guitarist playing. Located midway between Old Town Scottsdale and Biltmore Fashion Park, the Royal Palms was constructed more than 50 years ago by Cunard Steamship executive Delos Cooke. Done in Spanish mission style, the boutique hotel is still filled with European antiques that once belonged to Cooke. Surrounding the building, and giving the property the tranquil feel of a Mediterranean monastery, are lush walled gardens where antique water fountains splash. The most memorable guest rooms are the deluxe casitas, each with a distinctive decor ranging from opulent contemporary to classic European. These rooms also have private back patios and front patios that can be enclosed by heavy curtains. The antiques-filled dining room, T. Cook's, is one of the city's most romantic restaurants. An adjacent bar/lounge conjures up a Spanish villa setting. The Alvadora spa provides yet another level of luxury to this already superb boutique resort. While the Scottsdale Princess does the Moorish palace on a resort scale, this gorgeous little hideaway has the feel of a Spanish villa that was transported to the Arizona desert.

Westin Kierland Resort & Spa
Painted the color of the Arizona's red rock canyons, this new resort is located just off Scottsdale Road and adjacent to the Kierland Commons "urban village" shopping center. Throughout the resort you'll find interpretive plaques, artworks by Arizona artists, and historic photos that provide loads of insights into Arizona history and natural history. The convenient location and distinct sense of place make this my favorite of the Phoenix area's new crop of megaresorts. Guest rooms all have balconies or patios, and although the bathrooms aren't all that large, this minor inconvenience is compensated for by Westin's Heavenly Beds, which are incredibly comfortable, pillow-top beds. Excellent Nuevo Latino cuisine is served at Deseo, and there's a great cowboy-style bar as well. The spa specializes in skin treatments and has a wide variety of fitness equipment, a 24-hour lap pool, and a restaurant. Then there's the main pool area, which includes a long tubing river, a water slide, a beach area, and another large pool.Facilities: 5 restaurants (Nuevo Latino, American); poolside snack bar; espresso bar/ice-cream parlor; 2 lounges; 3 pools; 3 9-hole golf courses; 2 tennis courts; health club; full-service spa with 20 treatment rooms; 4 Jacuzzis; game room; children's programs; concierge; business center; 24-hr. room service; massage; laundry service; dry cleaning; concierge-level rooms.

Cave Creek Tumbleweed Motel
Located in the heart of rowdy Cave Creek, the valley's wildest and most western community, this little motel is nothing fancy, but it still seems to stay packed for much of the year. Be sure to book early. Although the guest rooms have a bit of western character, the popularity of this place is due in large part to the fun atmosphere of surrounding saloons and cowboy steakhouses. Although it's at least a 30-minute drive from here to Phoenix, the desert is a whole lot closer here than it is to Phoenix and Scottsdale's budget motels.
