WSRL Local Activities

Fall is patio time in Tempe. Enjoy dining al fresco in the evening. There's also horseback riding and hiking in South Mountain Park, visiting museums of native culture and the Southwest, touring our arboretums and botanical gardens, getting in a game of golf, fishing at Tempe Town Lake or one of the many canyon lakes on the Salt River.

The following links provide information about various events and activities going on in and around ASU, Tempe, and the greater Phoenix area. While you are in town to attend the conference, we hope you will also enjoy your stay here and take sometime to explore the Valley of the Sun.

	Things to be and Places to see Weather in late October is just about perfect. Although there is always a chance of rain (a rare and welcome occurrence for those of us who live here), plan to spend as much time as possible outdoors.
