2023 Scottsdale Meeting & Travel Planners Guide - 15

If Old Town Scottsdale is
the vibrant heart of our
city, the Sonoran Desert is
its soul. This magical
landscape holds
fascinating secrets and
sensory delights for all
who take time to slow
down, breathe deep and
surrender to its
otherworldly beauty. Start
getting acquainted with
the Sonoran Desert's
natural wonders with
these interesting facts.
1
IT'S FULL OF LIFE
The Sonoran Desert is
one of the lushest and most
biologically diverse deserts in
the world. It is home to some
60 species of mammals, 350
kinds of birds, 20 amphibians,
100+ reptiles, 30 freshwater
fish, and more than 2,000
native plant species -
approximately 25% of which
provide a fruit, vegetable or
liquid that humans and
animals can use to survive.
3
PURPLE MOUNTAIN
MAGIC TIME IS A THING
Scottsdale's McDowell
Mountains are known to take
on vibrant colors ranging from
light mauve to deep purple
depending on sunset light
conditions. Find a good
vantage point (we love the
patio at Orange Sky
restaurant) and watch the
evening color show, which is
particularly beautiful during
Arizona's monsoon season.
4
SAGUAROS GROW
ONLY HERE
The Giant Saguaro
(suh-war-oh) cactus is unique
to the Sonoran Desert.
Notoriously slow growers,
their seedlings take up to
10 years to reach 1.5 inches
in height, 30 years to reach
2 feet and 50+ years to
sprout " arms. " The saguaro's
creamy white and yellow
blossom is Arizona's
state flower.
2
IT'S PROTECTED
In the mid-1990s, Scottsdale
citizens approved a special
tax designated for
preservation of natural
Sonoran Desert land. Today,
the McDowell Sonoran
Preserve encompasses more
than 30,580 acres - nearly
one-third of the city's land
mass - and offers 235 miles
of shared-use trails for hiking,
mountain biking and
horseback riding.
5
DESERT RAIN
SMELLS GREAT
If you're lucky enough to
catch one of our rare desert
rain showers, step outside.
That fresh, green scent
tickling your nose is courtesy
of creosote, a common desert
evergreen shrub that releases
an unmistakable fragrance
when its leaves get wet. No
rain? Pour a little fresh water
on a creosote sprig and inhale
the perfume!
