One of the great things about Arizona is how accessible outdoor activities are. The weather is nearly always perfect for a walk in the evening, and there is plenty of open space to enjoy. As we continued our quarantine working from the Airbnb we took full advantage of that to get out in the evenings and relax.
We spent a couple of those evenings walking around the abandoned Vistoso Golf Course. Though it isn’t really an authentic taste of the local desert, it’s still a nice strip of open space winding it’s way through the neighborhood.
We also saw some of the local wildlife scavenging for seeds on the side of the road. These javelinas are quite common around Arizona, but seeing the young ones so close is pretty unusual.
Finally, we were also able to get up into the hills of the Tortolitas one evening to get some beautiful views of the sunset. We only went on a short walk, but the payoff was great.
