Desert. The word conjures up images of dry, barren wastelands of shifting sand dunes and wind-sculptured rocks. Although severely restricted by shortages of water, most deserts are not deserted. Life is there - sometimes visible, sometimes hidden.

The Arizona Desert Uplands is a spectacle of life and color boasting a wide variety of flora and fauna. Here you'll find Saguaro cactus, a Cattail stand, and Cottonwood trees - a habitat for a diverse array of birds, mammals, and reptiles.
