I took a horseback ride with some out of town friends somewhere by South Mountain. We just went along the foothills. We did see a bobcat which was pretty neat. The Desert Botanical Garden is great and as someone else has mentioned the Heard Museum. Montezuma's Castle(cliff dwelling) is great. It is right off I-17 on the way up to Sedona, and it doesn't take long to see.
