Tucson Mountain Park Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Sunset over the Arizona desert.
The highlight of our trip to #tucson #arizona was the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. You'll get to see hundreds of acres of desert, including plants and cacti from both the Sonoran and Mohave desert, similar to what you might find at Joshua Tree National Park. For more information on admission fee and when to visit, check my blog post: https://culturalfoodies.com/2019/12/31/what-to-do-and-where-to-eat-in-tucson-arizona/ We were delighted to find that this was quite literally the only thing in all of Tucson open on Christmas Day! #lifeatexpedia #travel #cacti #desert #arizona #museum #getoutdoors #optoutside
Saguaro National Park near Tucson, AZ #lifeatexpedia
Tucson mountain view at West Gates pass road. This picture does not do it justice with all the Saguaro growing up the side of this steep mountain. A roadside park is nearby. Just a beautiful find after we visited the west Saguaro National park. We were not here at sunset but hear this is the time of day to visit this area.
Beautiful desert view
