A Tour Of Tucson Valley

Today, we took a very beautiful drive through the Tucson Valley. The road carries you through the Old Tucson Movie Studio, a place where John Wayne made four movies, the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum and finally to the Saguaro National Park.

We stopped at the Tucson Movie Studio to get some information as to whether they were filming movies there now, it turns out they are not. Since we're expecting another couple to join up with us in about a week, we decided not to tour the studio today.

When we stopped at the Sonora Desert Museum there were at least two groups of school children there so we didn't want to be there with all the noise and crowds. Again, we'll come back later.

Finally at the Saguaro National Park we found a place that was not crowded. We arrived just in time to see the 25 minute movie about the Saguaro Cactus and it was really worth our time. The pictures were truly beautiful and the narrative was very informative.

Even though we didn't spend too much time at Tucson Studio or the Sonora Desert Museum, I still took a couple of pictures of our trip which I hope you enjoy. The countryside here is truly beautiful and something you must see.
