Twosomes hit the trail on horseback and explore the foothills of Old Man Mountain before returning to dinners of rustic fare, such as beans, meat, and soft rolls.

Estes Park Horseback

The veteran equestrians at Estes Park Horseback let riders get an up-close look at the picturesque property of Elkhorn Lodge during year-round trail rides. The lodge is situated along the border of Rocky Mountain National Park. Consequently, horseback-riding excursions wind past several spectacular sights, including the Continental Divide and Old Man Mountain, easily distinguished by its inability to operate its smartphone. During winter months, snow-dusted paths stretch before riders, while spring and summer adventures trot along trails dappled with sunlight. Estes Park Horseback encourages guests to tote along cameras to capture scenic views and potential sightings of elk, bighorn sheep, and other animals roaming through the area.

Window treatments look better when custom-fitted, just like wedding dresses and wedding dresses made out of cotton candy. Today's Groupon lavishes lintels with made-to-order designs: for $99, you get $300 worth of custom window treatments from 3 Day Blinds. See here to find a 3 Day Blinds consultant who serves your zip code.

The experienced design consultants at 3 Day Blinds dress windows in a diverse wardrobe of blinds, shades, and drapes. At a complimentary in-home consultation, clients' window-and-drapery-related dreams will be interpreted and precise measurements will be taken to carefully fit panes for appropriate garments. A 36"x54" front window could be clothed in GrandCell honeycomb shades ($158) or bask in Transitions faux-wood blinds' aura of quaint rusticity ($104). Alternatively, a set of 84"x84" vertical blinds (about $185) can adorn a patio entryway or a pet dragon's oversized doggie door. Blinds are made to size rather than cut, ensuring a snug, shapely fit to your window's sexy curves. Though required shipping costs (most products are $13.25–$25.25/unit) and optional installation costs ($118+ for four units) are not included in today's Groupon, 3 Day Blinds usually delivers most of its custom-made wares in two days and can also summon a pro installer to clothe lintels without stress.

Freshly stocked produce bins host a swinging soiree of assorted nutrients colorfully frocked in fruited finery and vegetable vestments. The contents of bins changes weekly and can include anything from cameo apples to satsuma seedless tangerines.

Spacious Condos Surrounded by Rocky Mountains

Steamboat Springs didn't start out as a resort community. Located nearly 7,000 feet up in the Rocky Mountains of northwest Colorado, the town was settled largely by ranchers whose hale and hearty pioneer spirit still lingers today. Things are relatively low-key here—especially in summer—with miles of rolling hill country to serve as the setting for all kinds of open-air pursuits. Mountain Resorts is one of the oldest property-management companies in the area, providing spacious, family-friendly condominiums and concierge services from a staff mostly made up of Steamboat Springs natives.

Both properties encompassed by this deal—the Ranch and the Phoenix—lie within Yampa Valley. The Ranch is distinctly rustic, surrounded by 36 acres of tree-studded hills and featuring wooden decks and wood-burning fireplaces in each condo. The Phoenix, on the other hand, has a more modern look following a recent $4 million renovation that included installation of all-new stucco and siding. Both properties enjoy access to outdoor heated pools and hot tubs, and the spacious two-bedroom suites include full kitchens and living rooms with pullout sofas.

Steamboat Springs, Colorado: Historical Ranch Town in Rocky Mountains

Steamboat Springs was named after its roiling mineral springs, which sounded to some early pioneers like a chugging steamboat. It's known as the birthplace of recreational skiing in Colorado thanks to a ski jump built in 1914 by cross-country champion Carl Howelsen. The slopes continue to draw visitors to town, but there's plenty to do in warmer weather. There are more than 50 miles of nature trails and wildflower fields for hiking, several mountain-view golf courses, and high-country lakes and streams that provide ample fishing. One network of rivers even flows through the downtown area, with launch points along the way for seasonal tubing.

Steamboat Springs retains vestiges of its history as a ranching center. Spur-clad cowboys still stroll the main streets, which are lined with western art galleries and clothing boutiques. Throughout the summer, the town hosts a pro rodeo series that includes traditional shows and Wild West–themed block parties. During the 32nd annual Hot Air Balloon Rodeo on July 7 and 8, ranchers will try to one-up each other by performing airborne tricks such as dipping into the lake and hogtieing clouds.

Much like the sale of sardines at movie-theater concession stands, the popularity of laser hair-removal treatments is evidence that most people secretly long to be dolphins. Get smooth and sleek with this Groupon to Simplicity Laser Hair Removal, valid at two Denver-area locations. Choose from the following options:

• For $99, you get eight laser hair-removal treatments on a small area (up to a $960 value).
• For $198, you get six laser hair-removal treatments on a medium area (up to a $1,080 value).
• For $297, you get six laser hair-removal treatments on a large area (up to a $1,674 value).
• For $396, you get six laser hair-removal treatments on an extra-large area (up to a $1,960 value).
• For $999, you get a year of unlimited laser-hair-removal treatments (up to a $8,672 value).

Click here for a list of valid body areas.

The technicians and physicians at Simplicity Laser Hair Removal work to evict wily follicle lodgers of all colors with advanced hair-razing equipment that combines FDA-approved diode, Nd:Yag, and alexandrite lasers. Customers can gently pulverize strands in one body area with six or eight treatments of concentrated pulsed photons, which coax squatting body threads out of their skin shelters with laser wavelengths and candy. Alternatively, opt for a full year of treatments to tackle multiple areas across unlimited visits.

Simplicity Laser Hair Removal's triad of modern laser technologies promises safe and effective treatment during each session of 30 minutes or less. Although these treatments can be effective in permanently reducing unwanted fuzz, most patients require 8–12 sessions for full reduction due to hair-growth dormancy, laser-absorption rates, and hard-to-locate follicle foxholes.

To start a safe, digital archive so home videos of first-grade choir solos don't turn into terrifying, chipmunk-attracting warbles, customers go online to fill out a form that generates a shipping label, and then mail their prized materials. Once parcels are received, staffers liberate the images and footage of dust and blemishes, scan them in, then adjust the orientation and color balance of the newly hatched digital files. After four or more weeks, depending on the order, customers get back the original copies along with their new, high-quality clones on DVD, ensuring that significant moments aren't stained and faded by Father Time’s clumsy coffee spills.

Each bier sampler platter includes six German tap beers—each in a 3-ounce glass—along with a soft pretzel. Beers on tap include Spaten Lager, Warsteiner Pils, and Franziskaner Weiss; see descriptions of these and other available beers here. Each German dining experience includes one bier sampler platter per person (an $8.45 value each) and one Rheinland platter per two people (a $19.10 value each). The Rheinland platter includes a Helga's schnitzel, a jagerschnitzel, and a veal bratwurst served with brown sauce and a lemon.

Helga's German Restaurant and Deli

Cinderella’s glass slippers have nothing on the boots that traverse Helga's German Restaurant and Deli’s bar every night. Filled with 4 liters of Spaten Oktoberfest, Warsteiner Pils, or any of the five other German beers on tap, these boots find their perfect match in the hands of guests who shout “Prost!” before tearing into soft pretzels baked in the Bavarian tradition.

Founded by a mother and daughter in 1989, Helga’s began as a four-table restaurant whose modest size seemed sometimes at odds with the giant pretzels and boot-size beers. However, the restaurant continued to grow and earn fans, many of who traversed the Rockies to sample its faithful interpretations of bratwurst, schnitzel, and other Rhineland staples. Though much of the menu remains the same as in those early days, the restaurant itself has expanded to resemble a lively German pub in the midst of Oktoberfest. When they aren’t molding sides of sauerkraut into tiny models of German soccer star Michael Ballack, guests can play beer pong for prizes, watch the national team on 50-inch televisions, or dance to live music played by the house band on the second and last Friday night of each month.

Festive vibes dominate in El Señor Sol's casual dining rooms, which are equally welcoming to families, larger groups, or mingling happy hour celebrants. The menu's medley of south-of-the-border-style grilled pork, beef, and chicken entrees can make a nice dinner for two or be served up in larger quantities inside one of the franchise's private banquet rooms.

The trainers aren't limited to helping adults: youth-fitness conditioning pairs kids with a personal trainer, either one-on-one or with another little buddy, to help them to learn to enjoy exercise and pick up healthy eating habits. Trainer and mom Emily Brown also leads Pur Fit Kids classes, which gets little ones exercising with fun physical games while teaching values such as perseverance, honesty, and when to go all in a high-stakes game of Texas hold'em.

Spacious Suites on Historic WWII Air Base in the Heart of Scottsdale

Between 1942 and 1945, young WWII pilots took off and landed more than 600,000 times on the runways of the Thunderbird II Air Base, situated in the desert outside of Phoenix. Today, jetsetters of a different kind frequent the historic base, which has been repurposed as the Scottsdale Municipal Airport. The base also contains the Scottsdale Thunderbird Suites, a four-story, tawny stucco hotel. Soaring ceilings and thick oriental rugs welcome visitors at the grand entrance area, and there are nods to the property's aviation history throughout the hotel.

Considering its proximity to the runway, each of the hotel's standard suites is rather quiet. That's because each room has been soundproofed with thick concrete walls to reduce the sound of engines and the cries of babies that want their pilot's license 16 years ahead of schedule. All of the spacious suites include a living room and separate bedroom, as well as new, cushy couches and chairs to lend the room homey feel.

Before heading off to bed, stop by the lounge next to the Silver Wings Restaurant to grab a nightcap and browse the hotel’s WWII aviation memorabilia. Among the relics are photographs of pilots and a table crafted from an aircraft rotary-cylinder-engine top. In the morning, guests can fill up on eggs, bacon, pastries, and steaming coffee at the complimentary hot breakfast buffet.

Scottsdale, Arizona: High-End Shopping in the “The West’s Most Western Town”

Situated slightly northeast of Phoenix in the Sonoran Desert, Scottsdale was once a vast ranch lands lined with citrus farms and cowboy settlements, earning it the nickname of “The West’s Most Western Town.” Today, the lush desert oasis is studded with glittering outdoor fountains, emerald-green golf courses, and an active nightlife scene.

For many vacationers, "sightseeing" in Scottsdale translates to "window-shopping." A few steps from the hotel, wander past palm trees to find designer stores such as Cartier and Anthropologie. A few minutes away is the charming and quaint Old Town Scottsdale, where brick buildings offer a glimpse into how the town earned its “Most Western” moniker. Stroll down its winding streets to find art galleries, a mammoth used bookstore, and public sculptures on nearly every corner.

They keep the stovetop warm during breakfast, lunch, and evening cocktail hours, when the bar pours out the eatery's namesake beverage—the pisco sour, a complex Peruvian blend of grape brandy, egg whites, and citrus. The buzzing dining room frequently welcomes a rotating variety of live entertainment, such as hip-hop, techno, and merengue music.

Diners can recharge stomach batteries with crispy calamari flavored with curry and sidled up next to a duo of sweet thai chili sauce and fish sauce ($7). Or patrons can brandish forks and pocketsize augers to excavate plump flour noodles from the nabeyaki udon ($12), unearthing savory morsels of napa cabbage, chicken, fish cakes, seaweed, and enoki mushroom. Otherwise, sesame chicken anoints tempura chicken with sesame soy sauce ($12) to unify warring factions of sweet and salty teeth. Land of Sushi lives up to its name with an extensive list of sushi and sashimi, including the river roll, which swaddles eel and avocado ($6), and the boston roll, which clutches succulent morsels of shrimp and cucumber within its mayonnaise-lacquered embrace ($5.50).

Bella Events

Bella Events coordinates a nationwide network of skilled professional photographers, ready to arrive on location to enshrine milestones and special moments through their expert camera work. After customers send in their contact information, a photography consultant contacts them to exchange ideas and arrange photo-shoot details. By drawing on this information, the consultant can recommend the ideal photographer for the job, which, due to the laws of time and space, cannot always be Annie Leibovitz. Next, shutterbugs appear during the event, whether it be a birthday party or milestone anniversary party, to capture in-the-moment bliss. These lense experts can also render stunning headshots and graduation portraits, all enshrined as high-resolution digital images, classy canvas prints, or personalized mugs, mousepads, and tote bags.

If flowers stopped growing, bees would have no way to make honey and little girls at weddings would walk down the aisle tossing handfuls of tree bark. Smell the roses with this Groupon.

$25 for $50 Worth of Fresh-Flower Arrangements, Balloons, and Gifts

Flower arrangements include the Love in the Spring bouquet of hot-pink spray roses and lilies ($35) and the I Love You bouquet of crimson roses sprouting from a glass cube ($39.99).

Ed Moore Florist

The striking arrangements at Ed Moore Florist, operating since 1948, spring from the mind of several inspired florists. Each of their arrangements manages to capture and condense the beauty of the natural world, from the Vera Wang–inspired rose bouquets to the wild and woodsy collection of cattails, asters, and bushy-bearded garden gnomes. Floral artists further personalize arrangements with inflatables picked from a garden of 500 balloon varieties, as well as stuffed animals, chocolates, and greeting cards ($1.99 or less).

• $59 for a 1.5-hour scenic trail ride for two (a $120 value)
• $109 for a 1.5-hour scenic trail ride for four (a $240 value)

Breckenridge Stables

Breckenridge Stables' herd of more than 100 steeds trots along for scenic trail rides, Western-style lessons, and historical tours of the town. As horses deftly navigate the Tenmile Range, guides point out local wildlife along the continental divide, the imaginary line drawn when Paul Bunyan and Babe the Big Blue Ox broke up. During colder months, Breckenridge Stables' custom-built mountain sleighs keep passengers snuggly during sleigh rides as a team of belgian, clydesdale, or percheron horses canters through the Colorado air.

Like walking your pet buffalo, wakeboarding requires you to hang on to a handle. Learn other important steps with this Groupon.

Choose from Three Options

• $54 for an introductory cable-wakeboarding lesson for two (a $108 value)
• $39 for a cable-wakeboarding ride session for two (a $78 value)
• $174 for a three-day youth cable-wakeboard day camp for kids ages 10–18 (up to a $349 value)

During the introductory session, professional instructors outfit students with standard rental equipment and guide them through a one-hour learn-to-ride lesson that teaches basic skills, such as how to get on a wakeboard, how to turn, and how to deal with choppy water. Alternatively, the ride sessions pull seasoned riders with a cable for one hour of freestyle wakeboarding. Both options supply students with a brief cable orientation, two T-shirts, and downloadable photos of their day.

The three-day wakeboarding day camp entertains campers each day with wakeboarding lessons and sessions, rental equipment, and an array of on-site activities from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The camps are divided into ages 10–14 and 15–18, and the staff supplies drinks, snacks, lunch, and downloadable camp photos of the experience.

Though Mile High Wakeboarding sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

Mile High Wakeboarding

Staged on lakes that have no competing boats, tubers or power turners, Mile High Wakeboarding’s lessons give students smooth waters to practice basic, intermediate, or advanced techniques. Professional instructors teach students of any level by pulling them with cables attached to boats or the cable park’s overhead cable apparatus. Each class has an average ratio of one instructor for every three students, resulting in one-on-one interaction. The cable park has an air cable for practicing tricks and learning how to ride and a slider cable for attempting jumps off aquatic obstacles, such as a 62-foot fun box. Friends and family members can cheer on students from the cable park’s surrounding beaches or any blimps they've rented for the day.

During summer vacation, students ages 10–18 can opt for wakeboarding day camps in Colorado and Texas. Mile High Wakeboarding also offers wakeboarding boat charter rentals, houseboat trips, swimming lessons, and private group events.

Choose from Three Options

$99 for a one-bedroom package (up to a $200.90 total value)

• Chuck-wagon dinner for two

After resting up in rooms, family suites, or two-person cabins, visitors refuel with hearty continental breakfasts of eggs, bacon, bagels, and danishes, washed down with sips of milk and fresh orange juice. Twosomes hit the trail on horseback and explore the foothills of Old Man Mountain before returning to dinners of rustic fare, such as beans, meat, and soft rolls.

Estes Park Horseback

The veteran equestrians at Estes Park Horseback let riders get an up-close look at the picturesque property of Elkhorn Lodge during year-round trail rides. The lodge is situated along the border of Rocky Mountain National Park. Consequently, horseback-riding excursions wind past several spectacular sights, including the Continental Divide and Old Man Mountain, easily distinguished by its inability to operate its smartphone. During winter months, snow-dusted paths stretch before riders, while spring and summer adventures trot along trails dappled with sunlight. Estes Park Horseback encourages guests to tote along cameras to capture scenic views and potential sightings of elk, bighorn sheep, and other animals roaming through the area.

Window treatments look better when custom-fitted, just like wedding dresses and wedding dresses made out of cotton candy. Today's Groupon lavishes lintels with made-to-order designs: for $99, you get $300 worth of custom window treatments from 3 Day Blinds. See here to find a 3 Day Blinds consultant who serves your zip code.

The experienced design consultants at 3 Day Blinds dress windows in a diverse wardrobe of blinds, shades, and drapes. At a complimentary in-home consultation, clients' window-and-drapery-related dreams will be interpreted and precise measurements will be taken to carefully fit panes for appropriate garments. A 36"x54" front window could be clothed in GrandCell honeycomb shades ($158) or bask in Transitions faux-wood blinds' aura of quaint rusticity ($104). Alternatively, a set of 84"x84" vertical blinds (about $185) can adorn a patio entryway or a pet dragon's oversized doggie door. Blinds are made to size rather than cut, ensuring a snug, shapely fit to your window's sexy curves. Though required shipping costs (most products are $13.25–$25.25/unit) and optional installation costs ($118+ for four units) are not included in today's Groupon, 3 Day Blinds usually delivers most of its custom-made wares in two days and can also summon a pro installer to clothe lintels without stress.

Spacious Condos Surrounded by Rocky Mountains

Steamboat Springs didn't start out as a resort community. Located nearly 7,000 feet up in the Rocky Mountains of northwest Colorado, the town was settled largely by ranchers whose hale and hearty pioneer spirit still lingers today. Things are relatively low-key here—especially in summer—with miles of rolling hill country to serve as the setting for all kinds of open-air pursuits. Mountain Resorts is one of the oldest property-management companies in the area, providing spacious, family-friendly condominiums and concierge services from a staff mostly made up of Steamboat Springs natives.

Both properties encompassed by this deal—the Ranch and the Phoenix—lie within Yampa Valley. The Ranch is distinctly rustic, surrounded by 36 acres of tree-studded hills and featuring wooden decks and wood-burning fireplaces in each condo. The Phoenix, on the other hand, has a more modern look following a recent $4 million renovation that included installation of all-new stucco and siding. Both properties enjoy access to outdoor heated pools and hot tubs, and the spacious two-bedroom suites include full kitchens and living rooms with pullout sofas.

Steamboat Springs, Colorado: Historical Ranch Town in Rocky Mountains

Steamboat Springs was named after its roiling mineral springs, which sounded to some early pioneers like a chugging steamboat. It's known as the birthplace of recreational skiing in Colorado thanks to a ski jump built in 1914 by cross-country champion Carl Howelsen. The slopes continue to draw visitors to town, but there's plenty to do in warmer weather. There are more than 50 miles of nature trails and wildflower fields for hiking, several mountain-view golf courses, and high-country lakes and streams that provide ample fishing. One network of rivers even flows through the downtown area, with launch points along the way for seasonal tubing.

Steamboat Springs retains vestiges of its history as a ranching center. Spur-clad cowboys still stroll the main streets, which are lined with western art galleries and clothing boutiques. Throughout the summer, the town hosts a pro rodeo series that includes traditional shows and Wild West–themed block parties. During the 32nd annual Hot Air Balloon Rodeo on July 7 and 8, ranchers will try to one-up each other by performing airborne tricks such as dipping into the lake and hogtieing clouds.

The technicians and physicians at Simplicity Laser Hair Removal work to evict wily follicle lodgers of all colors with advanced hair-razing equipment that combines FDA-approved diode, Nd:Yag, and alexandrite lasers. Customers can gently pulverize strands in one body area with six or eight treatments of concentrated pulsed photons, which coax squatting body threads out of their skin shelters with laser wavelengths and candy. Alternatively, opt for a full year of treatments to tackle multiple areas across unlimited visits.

Simplicity Laser Hair Removal's triad of modern laser technologies promises safe and effective treatment during each session of 30 minutes or less. Although these treatments can be effective in permanently reducing unwanted fuzz, most patients require 8–12 sessions for full reduction due to hair-growth dormancy, laser-absorption rates, and hard-to-locate follicle foxholes.

• $34 for a German dining experience for four (a $72 value)

Each bier sampler platter includes six German tap beers—each in a 3-ounce glass—along with a soft pretzel. Beers on tap include Spaten Lager, Warsteiner Pils, and Franziskaner Weiss; see descriptions of these and other available beers here. Each German dining experience includes one bier sampler platter per person (an $8.45 value each) and one Rheinland platter per two people (a $19.10 value each). The Rheinland platter includes a Helga's schnitzel, a jagerschnitzel, and a veal bratwurst served with brown sauce and a lemon.

Helga's German Restaurant and Deli

Cinderella’s glass slippers have nothing on the boots that traverse Helga's German Restaurant and Deli’s bar every night. Filled with 4 liters of Spaten Oktoberfest, Warsteiner Pils, or any of the five other German beers on tap, these boots find their perfect match in the hands of guests who shout “Prost!” before tearing into soft pretzels baked in the Bavarian tradition.

Founded by a mother and daughter in 1989, Helga’s began as a four-table restaurant whose modest size seemed sometimes at odds with the giant pretzels and boot-size beers. However, the restaurant continued to grow and earn fans, many of who traversed the Rockies to sample its faithful interpretations of bratwurst, schnitzel, and other Rhineland staples. Though much of the menu remains the same as in those early days, the restaurant itself has expanded to resemble a lively German pub in the midst of Oktoberfest. When they aren’t molding sides of sauerkraut into tiny models of German soccer star Michael Ballack, guests can play beer pong for prizes, watch the national team on 50-inch televisions, or dance to live music played by the house band on the second and last Friday night of each month.

El Señor Sol

El Señor Sol's customers metaphorically climb onto generously portioned entree platters and coast away on culinary voyages to Mexico. The restaurant began to sprout satellite locations around the Front Range more than 15 years ago, quickly establishing Mexican culinary street cred by presenting tasty margaritas and salsa made from scratch each morning, scratch being code for magical tomatoes. Festive vibes dominate in El Señor Sol's casual dining rooms, which are equally welcoming to families, larger groups, or mingling happy hour celebrants. The menu's medley of south-of-the-border-style grilled pork, beef, and chicken entrees can make a nice dinner for two or be served up in larger quantities inside one of the franchise's private banquet rooms. These seat up to 100 people for weddings, office parties, or an improvised convening of the U.S. Senate.

Though guests can opt to forge their own fitness paths, group classes such as total body toning, high-intensity step aerobics, and core conditioning corral the power of peer motivation to push patrons through workout plateaus. Nutrition assistance supplements physical training and helps members to negotiate the sometimes confusing world of dietetics, with its distinctions between refined and unrefined sugar, and its debates about whether a tomato is a fruit, vegetable, or adverb.

The trainers aren't limited to helping adults: youth-fitness conditioning pairs kids with a personal trainer, either one-on-one or with another little buddy, to help them to learn to enjoy exercise and pick up healthy eating habits. Trainer and mom Emily Brown also leads Pur Fit Kids classes, which gets little ones exercising with fun physical games while teaching values such as perseverance, honesty, and when to go all in a high-stakes game of Texas hold'em.

Spacious Suites on Historic WWII Air Base in the Heart of Scottsdale

Between 1942 and 1945, young WWII pilots took off and landed more than 600,000 times on the runways of the Thunderbird II Air Base, situated in the desert outside of Phoenix. Today, jetsetters of a different kind frequent the historic base, which has been repurposed as the Scottsdale Municipal Airport. The base also contains the Scottsdale Thunderbird Suites, a four-story, tawny stucco hotel. Soaring ceilings and thick oriental rugs welcome visitors at the grand entrance area, and there are nods to the property's aviation history throughout the hotel.

Considering its proximity to the runway, each of the hotel's standard suites is rather quiet. That's because each room has been soundproofed with thick concrete walls to reduce the sound of engines and the cries of babies that want their pilot's license 16 years ahead of schedule. All of the spacious suites include a living room and separate bedroom, as well as new, cushy couches and chairs to lend the room homey feel.

Before heading off to bed, stop by the lounge next to the Silver Wings Restaurant to grab a nightcap and browse the hotel’s WWII aviation memorabilia. Among the relics are photographs of pilots and a table crafted from an aircraft rotary-cylinder-engine top. In the morning, guests can fill up on eggs, bacon, pastries, and steaming coffee at the complimentary hot breakfast buffet.

Scottsdale, Arizona: High-End Shopping in the “The West’s Most Western Town”

Situated slightly northeast of Phoenix in the Sonoran Desert, Scottsdale was once a vast ranch lands lined with citrus farms and cowboy settlements, earning it the nickname of “The West’s Most Western Town.” Today, the lush desert oasis is studded with glittering outdoor fountains, emerald-green golf courses, and an active nightlife scene.

For many vacationers, "sightseeing" in Scottsdale translates to "window-shopping." A few steps from the hotel, wander past palm trees to find designer stores such as Cartier and Anthropologie. A few minutes away is the charming and quaint Old Town Scottsdale, where brick buildings offer a glimpse into how the town earned its “Most Western” moniker. Stroll down its winding streets to find art galleries, a mammoth used bookstore, and public sculptures on nearly every corner.

Both options supply students with a brief cable orientation, two T-shirts, and downloadable photos of their day.

The three-day wakeboarding day camp entertains campers each day with wakeboarding lessons and sessions, rental equipment, and an array of on-site activities from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The camps are divided into ages 10–14 and 15–18, and the staff supplies drinks, snacks, lunch, and downloadable camp photos of the experience.

Each class has an average ratio of one instructor for every three students, resulting in one-on-one interaction. The cable park has an air cable for practicing tricks and learning how to ride and a slider cable for attempting jumps off aquatic obstacles, such as a 62-foot fun box. Friends and family members can cheer on students from the cable park’s surrounding beaches or any blimps they've rented for the day.

During summer vacation, students ages 10–18 can opt for wakeboarding day camps in Colorado and Texas. Mile High Wakeboarding also offers wakeboarding boat charter rentals, houseboat trips, swimming lessons, and private group events.
