This beautiful and carefully restored colonial house is the site of a wonderful museum dedicated to poet, Nobel laureate, and national treasure Alexis Léger. Visitors to the museum can simultaneously admire the authentic Creole period house and explore exhibits on Léger's life and work.

Rising 2,704 feet above the Phoenix Valley, Camelback Mountain is an iconic destination for travelers seeking adventure and breathtaking views. The mountain offers two popular hiking trails, each challenging in its own way. The Echo Canyon Trail is shorter but steeper, while the Cholla Trail is longer and slightly less intense, though both demand a good level of fitness and preparation. As you ascend, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic vistas of the surrounding desert landscape and city skyline. At the summit, you’ll experience the exhilarating feeling of accomplishment under the bright blue Arizona skies. Guided hikes are also available for those who prefer a more structured experience or need local expertise. Remember to bring plenty of water and wear proper hiking gear, as the trails are rigorous and the desert heat can be intense, especially in summer.

Even though the museum displays antique furniture, mechanical musical instruments, and even an early 20th-century locomotive, most visitors come here to see the impressive collection of retro automobiles, all dating from 1898 to 1997.
