The Desert Ecology Trail

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

The desert ecology trail is inside Saguaro National Park, which is about 3.5 miles from our Arizona bed & breakfast. The trail is paved and wheelchair accessible; it includes signs that explain how animals and plants survive the harsh and arid desert climate. Yucca plants

One such plant/animal relationship is between the yucca and moths. To the layman’s observations this relationship is invisible. Each species of yucca depends on a single moth to pollinate it. But without the nectar of the yucca, the moth would die out.

This is just one example of what makes this place, our desert, such a special environment. We hope you will come stay with us at our Arizona bed and breakfast, in the midst of the Sonora Desert.
