have problems with quality inn on 52nd street in Tempe?

Hi, I would love to hike over A mountain. I moved to Tempe short time ago and I would love to hike early in the morning, and that's the closest mountain to hike for me. Where is the main entrance???

thanks you

Hi all. I just found this site today and was wondering if anyone can help me. We're planning our first trip to Az. and are interested in the Tempe area. We'd like to be there for a few days the end of January. I live in So Dak and it's COLD here. LOL We chose Tempe mainly because it appears to be near the zoo and botanical gardens and seems to be out of the heavy traffic of Phoenix itself. Also, we understand they have bicycle trails that pretty much run throughout the city. What is the transit system like there? Also, if it isn't good enough for one to get around and you need to rent a car, what is the traffic like there? Keep in mind that I come from a state with a total population of about 700,000 people. LOL

I am looking to move to Tempe this year to be with my girlfriend. Does anyone know if ASU, Mesa Community College, or any of the other community colleges near Tempe give their students free (or discounted) bus passes? What is the public transportation system called there? Thanks for any help!
