Though in the Valley we won\u2019t see the drastic transformation foliage in other parts of the county undergoes this time of year, we will certainly enjoy the cooler weather that comes along with autumn.<\/p>\n

And in our opinion, the best way to spend fall nights in the desert is outdoors, under the stars.<\/p>\n

Our new favorite Valley resort, Mountain Shadows<\/a>, is giving you the perfect excuse to spend the night outside, and in luxury.<\/p>\n
