Arizona Desert Sunrise.
It’s not hard to see why we’ve instantly fallen in love with Phoenix.
A vibrant city surrounded by beautiful desert scenery, with cactus plants most people only see in cartoons, once you get out of the city and into the Sonoran Desert it’s as if the world stops spinning.
We stood mesmerized on an early morning hike watching the sun slowly rise, casting a silhouette over a nearby towering cactus. The scene was truly awe inspiring.

Ooh I was born in Phoenix but moved when I was three so I don’t really remember too much. I’ve never seen a desert before, I’d love to see the sunrise there! Looks gorgeous.
Stunning! I’m a sucker for sunrises ( and sunsets) and love waking up early to see them. This one is particularly beautiful with the cactus silhouette!
Love sunset/sunrise pictures. Love the cactus in it….great idea!
Amazing shot! I loved the look of the Arizona desert on Breaking Bad (oh wait, that’s New Mexico! sorry) anyway, I’d love to visit, to meet you and the other Arizona Bloggers!
When I drove through Arizona recently on Route 66 I didn’t find a cactus that looked like this :( Just small ones. This photo is simple yet stunning!
Beautiful shot! I was born & raised in Tucson – not too far from Scottsdale – and so miss the desert. Sunrise and sunset there are like no place in the world! Thanks for sharing.
Arizona is great. Enjoy your time there. I am sure you will!
I remember the first and only time I visited Phoenix. I was in Flagstaff after hiking the Grand Canyon. It was 50 degrees in flag. I gained 402 degrees in the two hour drive. I was elated to see the saguaro cactus during the drive. This photo brings back good memories and reminds me I need to return.
Gotta love it for sure! Beautiful photo of the sunrise! Thanks for sharing!
I love Arizona, especially the cool looking cacti. While I was out there, I was just waiting to see the Road Runner come flying by me with a trail of dust! lol
