Air-conditioning. Shade. Air-conditioning. Entertainment. Air-conditioning. These are the things we crave during Phoenix summers. Yet we have the hardest times finding them outside of our own homes. Rather than choosing between a boring day at home in the AC and a lively day trekking around in the sweltering heat, we found five places where you can enjoy what Phoenix has to offer from the cool and tolerable indoors.

Arizona's Three Best Summer Water Hikes

By Nina Gruber Tue., Jun. 18 2013 at 7:00 AM

Maurice Bosc

You may interpret "water hiking" as toting a portable mister along the trail up Camelback, but dear reader, there are places with real water, too. Wet hiking is a perfect way to explore Arizona while keeping cool. Canyons, creeks, and springs fill our desert landscape if you know where to look and where to hike.

So here are three options for wet hikes: an easy nature walk nearby, a moderate canyon exploration, and a difficult (but epic) gorge discovery. Read through, do some personal research, and if you're feeling up to going out and cooling down, choose the one that is right for you.

A new fashion statement is growing -- so to speak -- on Chinese social media, and we imagine its only a matter of time before you find it in your local Urban Outfitters.

Yesterday commenters expressed feelings of curiosity and disgust when user Happy张江 posted this picture to Sina Weibo, a Chinese micro-blogging service.

5 Favorite Vintage Shops on 7th Avenue in Phoenix

Colorful vintage clothes at Retro Ranch in the Melrose District.

Metro Phoenix is endearingly called the Valley of the Sun, but we've also taken to calling it the Valley of the Vintage -- and not just because of the senior citizen population. Lightly used and deeply loved clothing, furniture, and accessories can be found all over town, and while the treasure hunt might take a bit of driving, it's worth the gas money. And so Jackalope Ranch presents a 'hood-by-'hood look at favorite vintage shops in metro Phoenix. Our first stop is the vintage Mecca of Phoenix, the Melrose District along 7th Avenue between (mainly) Camelback and Indian School roads.

11 Reasons to Love Summer in Arizona

Photos: First Major Haboob of 2012 Swallows Up the Valley

Bemoan the sweltering heat, requisite sunburns, and incessantly blazing sunshine all you want. There's plenty to love about Arizona in the summertime. The season officially arrives Friday, June 21, and here are 11 reasons we love it.

Monsoons
As the mid-summer clouds begin to form and the winds kick up, Phoenix's signature storm season means some mild relief from the heat. The fantastic lightning shows are a photographer's dream, and we're partial to the random torrential downpours that would be a bummer in most other climates. Leave it to desert dwellers to get psyched about rain. After a couple months of 100-plus temps, monsoon season is nature's cure for summer burnout. So soak it in; you've earned it.
