Sonoran Desert Sunsets and Night Skies
Watching an incredible evening sky as the sun and moon set just moments apart.

The Sonoran Desert is a very large ecoregion that covers parts of Arizona, California, and three Mexican states. The Sonoran, spanning 100,000 square miles, has the distinction of being the hottest desert in Mexico or the US. Despite the brual summer heat in this desert, the winters can be quite nice.
