rev:text	The Desert Botanical Gardens are definitely lovely and I found the 1/3 mile trail with the native dwellings fascinating, especially the part where you can grind your own mesquite beans. The price nearly made me swoon, however. I'm thankful I'm still a student, though and was able to get in at half the adult price (of $15). The first time I ever tried to go to DBG, we were stopped at the gate and asked if we had reservations. "No," we said, and were asked to leave. This time around, I called ahead. No reservations necessary. Though the gardens are gorgeous year-round, I'd like to see them in the spring when the flowers are in full bloom. On buying our tickets, I asked the girl at the counter which trails she recommended, as we were sure we wouldn't have enough time before sunset to get them all. She said the Desert Wildflower was her favorite and that a lot of people loved the Sonoran Desert loop for the outlook over Phoenix. The Desert Wildflower loop trail was nice. Good view of the Barnes Butte, and still had plenty of hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies this time of year. The Sonoran Desert trail is paved and slopes uphill. The outlook at the zenith (Mountain Vista) is better for sitting and looking up at the Garden Butte as the view of Phoenix isn't as dynamic as one would expect. In truth, I was more taken with the Plant & People of the Sonoran Desert loop. It had native dwellings you could walk into, a few activities like making your own yucca paintbrush and pounding mesquite, and in general it's a nice walk. You can see the Hole in the Rock from part of the trail. The newly opened "Allan Houser: Tradition to Abstraction" exhibit had just opened, placing these bronze sculptures at random parts of the trails. At times it added to the experience, and sometimes it just seemed odd. Like here's a giant Apache's head, near an Apache hut, and blocking your view of the Barnes Butte. If you're only interested in walking and occasionally glancing at things, you can do the whole thing in under 2 hours. But for your money's worth, looking at everything, soaking it in, perhaps feeling the new to meditate and do some introspective reflecting, expect to be there at least 3 hours.
