Tempe

Tempe occupies the Salt River Valley in central Arizona. The city lies beside Tempe Town Lake, a reservoir on the Salt River that forms a waterside corridor through the urban core. Hayden Butte, widely known as “A” Mountain, rises next to downtown; its slopes contain petroglyphs associated with the Hohokam, who lived in the region long before the modern city. Tempe is also home to Arizona State University’s main campus, giving Mill Avenue and nearby streets a distinctly collegiate rhythm of galleries, performance venues, cafés and sport. Trails around the butte and paths beside the lake add an outdoorsy counterpoint to the dense Phoenix metropolitan area.
