For those with little experience living or traveling in the Western United States, Arizona is an environmentally and culturally diverse state. The lushest desert in the world stretches from southern Mexico into California and reaches all the way up to the Phoenix- Scottsdale, Arizona area. What makes the sonoran desert so unique is the enormous diversity of its plants and animals living there. The giant-limbed saguaros are cactuses most commonly associated with the dry region, but a plethora of unique shrubs and other cacti are abundant. Water is scarce much of the time, except for the winter and summer monsoon seasons, which quench the desert and mountains. Arizona’s mountains break up the diverse desert landscapes and offer pine forested retreats where the air is much cooler, lowering a few degrees every thousand feet ascended.
