Taliesin West
Nestled in the desert foothills of Scottsdale’s McDowell Mountains, Frank Lloyd Wright’s beloved winter retreat is now home to the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture. Taliesin West is open to the public, offering a broad range of tours, including night walks and a behind-the-scenes viewing of his personal art collection. Deeply connected to the desert from which it was forged, Taliesin West was built and maintained almost entirely by Wright and his apprentices, making it among the most personal of the architect’s creations.
Desert Botanical Garden
Think the desert is all dirt and tumbleweeds? Think again. Desert Botanical Garden is home to thousands of species of cactus, trees and flowers from all around the world spread across 55 acres in Phoenix, Arizona.
