For Valley residents, one of the top desert attractions in the world is not far away.
According to CNN Go, one of the best desert activities on the planet is a hike though Arizona’s Sonoran Desert.
One of the world’s most “alive” deserts, a slow-paced trek through Sonoran desert allows you to see coyotes, roadrunners, mountain lions, zebra-striped lizards and more amazing desert-dwelling critters, as well as what hike organizers describe as a “botanical garden of desert plants.”
Some of the other top desert activities are sand sliding in China, horseback riding in Namibia and dune bashing in the United Arab Emirates.
