day 1 start in PHOENIX 

We arrived early/mid morning, grabbed our rental, and hit the road for some breakfast before hiking. Post hike grabbed some brews and brauts before heading north bound. 

O.H.S.O. Brewery + Distillery

@jesstakethetrip

Great views of camelback, place was pretty busy with locals and got some good tips for hiking camelback. You know you've found a good spot when all the patrons at the bar top are locals. Food was great!

day 2 end in Page:

Shash Dine' EcoRetreat

@jesstakethetrip

If you stay no where else from this guide, you MUST stay here. There are no words for the Arizona sky at night in the desert. It does get cool in the night so bring layers! We stayed in the sheep wagon. Such a cool experience and the hosts are just amazing

Big John's Texas BBQ

@jesstakethetrip

You really can't beat a good BBQ joint. Page is pretty small and options are too but this place popped up on several reddits and we left with full bellies. Good entertainment too!

day 3 GRAND CANYON to SCOTTSDALE

Foodie Club

@jesstakethetrip

Embarrassingly we hit a BK drive through since we left Shash Dine before the complementary breakfast but if you get a chance I rec you try it! We stopped here for a "real" breakfast/early lunch and thought this place hit the spot out of pure starvation or if it was actually decent. Nonetheless we left full. Service was fast and we were refueled for our drive back to scottsdale

Rita's Cantina & Bar

@jesstakethetrip

Got our bellies off track from Indiana time so we stopped by here for some epic views and early happy hour bites. We tried a few things off the happy hour menu and it was all great. Spicy marg included with a side of camelback mountain views
