2-7-24 PART 3 - TUCSON - THE DESERT - THE VIEWS - THE PLACE TO REST & ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF THE GREAT SOUTHWEST
After touring one of the greatest works of architecture in America, we headed south to the resort town of Tucson to enjoy the desert environs as we stayed in a completely luxurious resort for rest and relaxation. The food wasn't bad either.
Whether you take the back roads or I-10, the views of the desert driving the quick two hours from Scottsdale to Tucson are desert perfection. We pulled into the Westward Look Grand Resort & Spa to stay for four days. As we were taken to our room, it was very impressive. The Junior Studio Suite with Desert View had a king size bed, a nice shower and a large balcony/terrace. Depending on when you go, you can reserve outstanding rooms starting at $156. The best time to go is in early September - prices are low and the temperature is more comfortable. In the summer, the prices go up to the low $300's and the temperatures can go up to 100 degrees.
Generally, I don't stay in "resorts", but this place doesn't feel like a big resort. It was
comfortable with excellent staff and all the amenities any Vagabond needs for a complete adventure in travel - great restaurants, great spa and an outstanding desert environment. The resort has many choices for dining from a small cafe to an in-room dining experience.
In addition to the resort, there are many things to see and do in and around Tucson. The city has many great restaurants. You can enjoy quick trips or longer daytrips and tours. From the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum to Saguaro National Park, if you want to see some of the most unique and beautiful natural environments then this part of Arizona is the place for you! Take a quick look at the following video showing the beauty of this desert extraordinaire not far from Tucson.
So, if you have never been to the deserts of the Southwest, then - Just Go! Now! You will not regret it!
