I am going to Scottsdale next week for a few days and would like to go on a 16 mile run. Preferably on a trail or devoted bike/running path with no significant climbs, rollers are fine. Any ideas of where to go?

Run on the canal. Completely flat. You can even look up online how far each segment is.
You can run along Indian Bend Wash, south until you get to Tempe Town Lake. If you start at Chaparral Road (Chaparral Road and Hayden Road) and turn around when you get in front of the Tempe Center for the Arts building on the south side of the lake, that will put you right at 16 miles.
It's a good path with no motorized vehicle traffic, with varied scenery (at least for desert Arizona) and almost all the road crossings go over or under the road, so you don't have to stop for any traffic lights.
Thanks for your input!
