There are few things like the soft hues of the desert sunrise and sunset. We ended our road trip at a super swanky inn in Tuscon, Arizona and it was undoubtedly one of most incredible places I've ever stayed. I can't speak enough to the attention to detail in all the spaces, the way they brought the outdoors in and reflected the desert lifestyle in every corner. The property itself was in the middle of the desert, so without really leaving, we could walk around a few little nature trails. Neither of us are early morning people, but for some reason while we were in the desert, we were both awake and ready to go at sunrise almost daily. This rhythm feels impossible at home but it honestly felt SO good. So right. There's something pure about being outside while all the animals wake up as the sun rises and all is calm. We were only about 5 minutes from Saguaro National Park, so we drove through the incredibly scenic Gates Pass many times and took a couple of hikes through the park and saw nobody. So grateful for this beautiful experience!
