Arizona

This week we leave Arizona and head over the border…to New Mexico! Our two week road trip starts tomorrow!

I returned to Southern Arizona this week and couldn’t be happier to be back in my beloved Sonoran Desert, enjoying the blooming Saguaro Cacti on desert hikes!

I’ve visited the Southwest five times over the past few years, but it took me until my 6th visit this year to finally visit a ranch, a real working dude …

Last weekend, I went to a PowWow, the traditional gathering of Native American tribes – a gathering filled with traditional dances, dresses and Native American culture!

Cruising down Route 66 is one of America’s classics. We were lucky to experience some Route 66 nostalgia on our Northern Arizona road trip. Besides parts of the famous road, we visited Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly, the Petrified Forest, Sedona, Navajo Country, Antelope Canyon, the Horseshoe Bend and the Grand Canyon.

In a sad twist of fate and a splash of coincidence, after learning of the white-winged dove at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, one came crashing into our window at our housesit in the foothills.
