>>119 is not uncommon at all that time of year. No matter what, it's gonna be well over 100 and probably over 110 EVERY day. When I go to conventions and such I like to spend a few extra days around the city and look around - maybe goto a nearby national or state park or something. This is just stupid though - you're not going to be able to do ANYTHING other that hide in the airconditioning at "Desert Ridge Resort"!

>Rent a car and run up to the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Flagstaff, as a way to beat the heat of the desert. You will be up in altitude so it's not that hot up @ 6,000 ft. Play some golf in Flagstaff and find that your drive is at least 20 yds longer.

Yeah I've actually been to Phoenix, Grand Canyon, Sedona, Flagstaff, and everything around there. To beat the heat, Flagstaff is probably you're best bet. Grand Canyon is of course just awsome - but it would be one rough hike to go down to the bottom of it that time of year. Unless you're in reaaaallly good shape I wouldn't try going down to the bottom - I'd stay along the rim.
