The Desert Museum was founded in 1952. It features plants and animals native to the Sonoran Desert. It is consistently one of the top things to see in Tucson and for good reason. There is so much to see no matter what time of the year it is. Michael has been visiting it and frequently a member since the early 80s.
Tucson Mountains is a small mountain range west of Tucson, Arizona. There are four mountain ranges that surround Tucson; the Tucson Mountains, the Catalina Mountains, the Rincon Mountains, and the Santa Rita Mountains. Even though each mountain range is unique and outstanding, we gravitate towards the Tucson Mountains because of the density of saguaros, hiking trails, wildlife, Tucson Mountain Park, Saguaro National Park West and the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. From Cave Creek, Arizona it was about a 2 hour drive to Tucson.
Spring is always a favorite because of budding trees, flowers, and warmer longer days. We needed to be in Tucson to have some minor repairs done to our RV. We enjoy visiting Tucson Mountain Park, the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, and Saguaro National Park West. Western Way RV Resort is very close to those sites and this had been our third stay here.
The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is our favorite place to visit when in Tucson. Even though we were staying near Tombstone, we needed to go to Tucson about once a week for errands. Making a stop at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum became a routine. They also have a very good restaurant.
