Scottsdale welcomed its first bike-share program in November. The service is run by LimeBike, which operates in more than 35 markets across the country and in Europe. The service is stationless, meaning there are no set pick-up and drop-off locations, but the company maintains partnerships with Scottsdale hotels including the Quad, Hotel Valley Ho, and Courtyard by Marriott, offering guests a healthy, convenient, and affordable way to explore the city. Each G.P.S.- and 3-G-enabled smart bike can be located and unlocked directly through the LimeBike app.

Detours, an Arizona- and Nevada-based tour company, recently expanded its offerings to include Detours Native America. The service gives guests a taste of Native American life by visiting different tribes, landmarks, and festivals. While most public tours involve long drives and overnight stays, planners can book shorter private tours to local areas like Tucson and Sedona.

Cloth & Flame offers immersive outdoor dining experiences in Sedona, the Sonoran Desert, and other nearby picture-perfect spots. By working with private landowners and conservation organizations, the company obtains access to spaces that might be difficult to use otherwise. The company can create bespoke events from intimate, chef-driven brunches to 300-guest dinners. Food is prepared on site, and add-on amenities such as lighting, heaters, restrooms, and transportation are available. Programming will expand in 2018 to include options like guest speakers, musicians, and workshops.
