Sonoita

The Sonoita high desert grasslands are among my favorite areas to drive around in Arizona. This region is especially striking during the summer monsoon storms. The sky seems to stretch forever above the huge expanses of rolling grass. The distant looming mountains are masked by misty clouds. Oak trees and mesquite stud the hills.
