Driving the American West: Mojave Desert to the Grand Canyon

The South Rim of the Grand Canyon


 

Continued from
Go West, I Said

 
The first two days of my road trip around the American West were just spectacular:

There were tumbleweeds, Joshua trees and enormous crows beneath a metal-bright blue sky.

I raced mile-long technicolor trains and waved to other drivers, grinning like a fool.

I stayed the night in a former brothel along Route 66, where I had a damn fine cappuccino.

And then I walked along the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, eyes agog.

It’s really good out here.

The main pool at The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain in Arizona

I recently stayed in a unique resort that allowed me to explore Arizona’s Sonoran Desert while never straying far from a pool, spa or cocktail.

The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain is 90 minutes from Phoenix, 30 minutes outside Tucson, and in the middle of saguaro-cactus nowhere. But for couples looking to utterly escape their usual grinds, it’s relaxing, surprisingly educational and pretty darn romantic.

We’ve seen the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden at sunset, strolled through
Sedona’s Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village, and even eaten sauteed cactus.  

But someday, we hope to walk to the edge of the Grand Canyon together
and peer bravely into the rocky abyss. 

Here are some resources to help you plan your own “travels with two” to Arizona.
