The Arizona Great Outdoors

While in Arizona for Spring Training, we also got a chance to see a few of the area's outdoor recreational areas. After dropping off the grandparents at the airport, we checked out the nearby Papago Park in Phoenix. We did a short little trail there to check out a hole in a rock (more exciting than it sounds). We only stayed for a short time before heading back south toward Tucson. We got to put another pin in the map as we visited a random national monument along the way - Arizona is full of these things. Just off the freeway toward Tucson was Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, which preserves one of the largest Pueblo structures still standing, a four-story "big house." You can't venture inside of it anymore, but it was impressive to check out.

 

 

 

 

Yep, that's a grande casa.
