I feel sorry for all those people who associate Arizona with dry, sandy wastes. Although it is hot in the summer, the rest of the year is usually delightful and in the Spring, spectacular. The picture above was taken in 2008 on a short loop drive in the east valley, out the Bush Highway and around by Saguaro Lake and back to the Beeline Highway. I just drove up to Globe yesterday and the desert is carpeted with flowers and scenes like the one above are common all along the lower desert roads. Temperatures are in the mid-70s and low 80s and the nights are cool and comfortable. The colors are magnificent and the drive to Globe, if it had been for pleasure rather than business, would have completely delightful.
