Scottsdale in November: weather, events and Thanksgiving.

November is when Scottsdale cools down and opens up again. The summer heat is gone, the golf courses come back after their fall overseeding, and families start arriving for Thanksgiving. If you can travel this month, it is one of the most comfortable times of the year to be here.
