Your ultimate field guide to exploring Arizona's four distinct deserts, hidden trails, and vibrant local culture.
Hi, I'm Meghan, your guide to Finding AZ! ☀️ I don't just point out scenic overlooks—I give you the keys to decode Arizona’s four deserts through outdoor adventure, cultural history, and local flavor.
Most people think Arizona is just one giant stretch of Saguaro cacti and gravel roads. But those who know how to look will find a continent's worth of diverse ecosystems, vibrant histories, and culinary traditions packed inside our borders.
From the high-altitude sagebrush valleys of the Great Basin to the Joshua trees of the Mojave, the lush biodiversity of the Sonoran, and the sweeping agave grasslands of the Chihuahuan—Arizona is a living story. Finding AZ is your map to reading that story, connecting the raw beauty of our wilderness trails directly to the local tables, museums, and architecture that give the Southwest its soul.
I'm happy you're here for the journey!
Stepping onto the trail to decode the landscape. I track the ancient geology, native flora, and wild habitats that make Arizona’s wilderness areas so unique.
Connecting with local history and design. I explore the Southwest’s independent museums, botanical sanctuaries, and regional architecture that interpret and honor our natural world.
Discovering regional flavor. I seek out the independent cafes, local restaurants, and culinary experiences that bring desert-infused and heritage ingredients to the plate.
