We've been in Mesa for over a month now, enjoying the amenities in Leisure World. We've fully explored the pools, hot tubs and the pickleball courts. Today we decided to venture out to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum, a botanical garden near Superior. There we hike the trails and looked at the countless displays. The park consists of 300+ acres of desert plants and other species from around the world.
The trail that circles the park is over 3 miles long and can easily be walked in a couple hours.

Ayer Lake is an oasis that attracts countless birds, animals and reptiles.
