Hi folks. In this video we take you on some side-by-side adventures in the Sonoran Desert National Monument. The Sonoran Desert is located in south central Arizona, about 60 miles from Phoenix.

According the the Bureau of Land Management, "The Sonoran Desert National Monument contains magnificent examples of untrammeled Sonoran Desert landscape. The national monument is the most biologically diverse of the North American deserts and the monument captures a significant portion of that diversity."

While out exploring we find a rare "crested" saguaro cactus, an old munitions dump, a century-old copper smelter, and other "treasures".

Come along and check out the Sonoran Desert with us!
