The Desert is Poppin'!


The Sonoran Desert is pretty amazing. Of course, any desert is, by definition, a place that receives very little rain. Beyond that, however, deserts can be very different, and each beautiful in its own way.

The Saguaro cactus asssociated with the Sonoran Desert are found nowhere else on Earth and can live to be over 150 years old.

Despite developmental sprawl, Arizona still sports many great and small patches of undisturbed desert. Just remember the water and make a lot of noise so you don't startle a rattlesnake!
