Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum

This is a zoo, natural history museum and botanical garden all in one place. We walked the paths traversing acres of desert and saw some beautiful scenery. They even had natural type enclosures for the animals which are endemic to the area. Mountain lions, lynx, javelina, Harris' hawks, various birds, river otter, fish, snakes (ugh!) and insects of all kinds. The varitey of life that lives in the Sonoran Desert is just amazing.

We visited this place on the day we were waiting for the motorhome to be fixed. The engine started to miss and we didn't want to go into Mexico with this problem. We were able to stay in the motorhome for the two nights it took to repair the engine problem.
