Description

Prepare to be dazzled by the incredibly biodiverse life thriving and surviving in this immense desert.

With over 180 fun profiles of wild flora and fauna observed in this expanse, 20 adventurous field trip options for all nature enthusiasts, and riveting and inclusive natural history insights, Sonoran Desert Explorer will reveal to many just how biodiverse and colorful this desert truly is.
