Here are the top stories in Scottsdale today:

1. Three hikers are being treated at a local hospital after suffering from heat-related injuries on Camelback Mountain. The three were not traveling together, but as firefighters assisted a 69-year-old man down Echo Canyon Trail, they found a 26-year-old woman at the base of the mountain also overcome by heat. Then, while preparing to leave the trail, a 62-year-old woman asked for a medical evaluation due to excessive heat issues. All three are reportedly in stable condition. (ABC15 Arizona in Phoenix)
2. Next week is monsoon season and Scottsdale's finest are preparing for the onslaught of rain. Local fire fighters began training exercises with first responder units from Phoenix and surrounding cities. In the event of lighting, the Scottsdale Fire Department advises avoiding open outdoor areas and metal, including steel toes boots. If sheltering inside, stay away from windows, plumbing, and electrical wires. Click the blue hyperlink in parenthesis for more safety tips. (Subscribe: Daily Independent, Free: Newsbreak)
3. Scottsdale's own Clayton Wolfe, a local real estate agent, has surmounted Mount Everest — and is raising money as a result. After failing his first two attempts at the climb, Wolfe reached the world's highest peak on May 11 and is selling the tokens he carried on the trek. Proceeds go to the 20/30 Club, which has raised nearly $1.3 million in grants this year for 48 Arizona nonprofits. (Scottsdale Progress)
4. An unbuilt Scottsdale home has been listed with the highest price in Arizonan history. Jerry Smith, owner of the $32 million property, says it will be 17,267-square-foot estate called Ellington Heights. Whoever ends up owning the grandiose home will be treated to a Roaring Twenties inspired, Gatsby-esque mansion. (KTAR News)
5. Looking for an event every Friday? Then head down to Summer Fridays at Scottsdale Quarter through August 12 from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM.

Are you a Scottsdale resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?

Bloomberg recently asked experts where they’d invest $100,000 right now, and many of them had the same answer: fine art.

Thinking you can’t afford a Picasso? Well in 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of artwork. A company called Masterworks.io built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares of companies like Apple, but with this investing app, you can unlock this powerful investment.

Meaning, you can invest in shares of million-dollar artwork. And in uncertain times, it turns out, fine art may be a wise investment. Here’s why:

• Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
• Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)

To learn more, visit Masterworks.io, where Scottsdale Daily readers can skip the waitlist.
