Oh! Well definitely go to Bryce Canon if in Utah! Really beautiful….but in a different way. I would say that Saguaro is actually my favorite desert of all I have seen in the states…the cactus variety…the landscape, the sunsets, the creatures…I am from the PNW and never has any place felt so unearthly and strange as Saguaro/Sonora.

Fair enough. I concede.

Side note: I went to Tuscan and the desert beyond about a year ago for the first time. I have to say - the Suguaro desert was probably the most amazing and terrifying I have seen (compared to Joshua Tree, and those in Utah and Nevada). It was alien and fascinating and pretty great.

Also - highly recommend the Sonora Desert Museum.

What are you even doing up there? Nature is Literally trying to kill you there. Whatever. That’s fine. Do what you want.
