Southwest Trip
We are planning a trip to the southwest beginning about the last week of February. We hope to see Death Valley, Joshua Tree, Saguaro, Carlsbad Caverns, Guadalupe Mountains, and Big Ben National Parks...

If you're going to be in the Tucson area, a couple of suggestions. They're both on Kinney Rd. NW of Tucson.
Old Tucson , and the Sonora Desert Museum.
Old Tucson is the home to most of the cowboy flicks you saw as a child. You can feel John Wayne's presence.
And the desert Museum showcases the native desert creatures that you normally don't see. Snakes, of course, but also pumas, wild burros, gila monsters, etc. And there are interpreters everywhere able to answer any questions you may have. That great big desert isn't empty.
BTW, for some reason, the links are no longer clickable unless you select "open in new window".
