The extensive campus of Arizona State University lies to the south, while the remainder of the city has the usual mix of residential estates and business parks, this latter mostly to the west, along the I-10 corridor. The largest shopping center, and the location for many of Tempe's hotels, is Arizona Mills Mall, by the junction of the interstate with US 60; a busy location, but less than 2 miles from the spectacular desert scenery of South Mountain Park (the Pima Canyon Road entrance).
