Lush Desert

I was delighted to read Carla Davidson’s article on her experience in Arizona (“History Happened Here,” September). Ms. Davidson’s account of her group’s exploration of the Sonoran Desert should give readers not yet acquainted with the beauty of Arizona’s lush and colorful desert and the wildlife that abounds within its reaches a fresh insight into the state’s unique landscape—which is, after all, one of the things of which her citizens are most proud.
