Sometimes, 48 hours is all you need to reset. If you’re craving fresh air, bold flavors, and a shot of adrenaline – or tequila – Fort McDowell Destination is your shortcut to a weekend well spent.
Start your Saturday with a tee time at We-Ko-Pa Golf Club. It’s pure golf, no distractions, just you and two award-winning courses carved into the untouched desert. Don’t let the views of Red Mountain and Four Peaks throw you off your swing. They’re even better with a cold drink after the round.
Next stop: Fort McDowell Adventures. You don’t need to be an experienced wrangler to saddle up. Whether you choose a guided trail ride or hop on a hay wagon for something a little more laid-back, it’s the kind of adventure you won’t find in the city. Bonus points if you end the evening at La Puesta del Sol for a cowboy cookout under the stars.
Back at the We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort, the night’s just getting started. A round of blackjack. A live show. Maybe a signature cocktail at the Ember bar. Or a quiet soak in the whirlpool while the rest of your crew explores the floor.
On Sunday, take it slow. Grab a locally roasted coffee, lounge by the pool, or book a treatment at the Amethyst Spa. Or, if you’re feeling ambitious, explore the nearby trails or visit the farm stand and pick up fresh produce straight from Fort McDowell Tribal Farm.
Two days. One destination. A dozen ways to make it yours.
