Sanctuary Cove

The Cove is tucked away in the Tucson Mountains, almost hidden, but with beautiful vistas. In the spring and fall, the desert there grows lush and green. It is cut from mostly volcanic rock, and can make for challenging hiking. There are several easy trails around the simple stone chapel. It's a great place for meditation, or reflection, but mostly, it's just the best way to experience the beauty of the desert, up close and personal. We go at least twice a year, and have always found something new with each visit. I recommend it for all that are new to the desert.
