“If you only go one place in Tucson, go here. A pretty drive out and back, lots of interesting desert animals and all kinds of desert plant life. Super opportunity to take a lot of pictures. I recommend taking a guided tour and then wandering back to the areas of most interest. Our tour guide told us a lot about the plant and animal life in the desert.”
