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.

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’m back in Arizona and so far, my time here has been fantastic: canyon hikes, Saguaro National Park, a day trip to Tombstone and Bisbee, and my first ever county fair!

In and around Tucson and the Sonoran Deserts there are hundreds of thousands of Saguaro Cacti, Arizona’s state flower. Being surrounded by these gigantic cacti every day still feels very …

  The desert landscape and clear skies make for such beautiful sunsets here in Tucson.  Normally Dani can’t help but stop and get shots with a cactus or little lizard …

We have compiled a list of our favorite places in Tucson – what to see, where to eat, where to sleep and some ideas for trips out of town.

When we visited the Saguaro National Park we came across these handsome horses that were taking their owners on a ride around this stunning scenery of Saguaros.

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