Desert fag here. Whole life in this hellfire desert. If you don't love the desert now, don't expect to. It doesn't want your love or affection. Only fools love the desert. Long exposure to the desert brings in a special kind of crazy. A desert kind of crazy. So find some shade. Always have water.
I recommend going out before sunrise or in the middle of the night. Those times are really nice. That's when you will finally start to appreciate it. It's when the desert is at its kindest. It forgets it wants to kill you.
In late summer we get monsoons, those are special. There is nothing like a desert rain storm. You will like it. Most Wetlanders do.
you could go to the Mogollon rim or flagstaff, or Sedona. I've heard legends that they have trees.
