Desert Oasis

The Marriott Desert Ridge is a beautiful resort any time of the year. While some areas retain the natural Sonoran Desert landscaping with abundant quail, rabbits and hummingbirds, other areas give the impression of a colorful oasis rising out of the surrounding desert. I love to visit and enjoy a cold drink within view of the soothing brook.            

Desert Living II

The Boulders resort in Carefree, Arizona makes the most of its Sonoran Desert location by blending into its dramatic natural surroundings. We spent our anniversary there two years ago and hope to return soon.
