Tucson is one of those cities that rewards you more the longer you stay. On our first extended winter stay — several weeks in western Tucson in January and February 2018 — we had practical reasons to be there: RV service work at Freightliner and Freedom RV. But what we actually spent our time doing was exploring one of the most biologically diverse and visually spectacular desert landscapes in North America. Michael has been coming to Tucson since the 1980s, drawn back repeatedly by the saguaro forests, the mountain ranges, and the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. This first extended RV stay confirmed everything that has kept bringing us back.
