I'm not a contemplative person, really. I like to look at something once and keep moving. This place slowed me down though. The plant life in the desert is so different from what I've seen in my life, that I was really interested in the types of plant life that can survive here. I never knew there were so many kinds of cactus and this place has them well marked. It's a different kind of beauty. My contemplative, nature loving and nature photographing husband wanted to come back for his second visit on our trip and thought i would enjoy it. I did. I don't need to go back, but I did have a nice couple of hours here. (Great gift shop, too.)
