Up in Brown Canyon: Exploring the Center of the Universe
Excerpts:
I had only viewed the unmistakable rock tower of Baboquivari from the north and west–
the most sacred place for the Tohono O’odham tribe: Baboquivari, the center of the O’odham universe.

It was strange to see Ocotillos and a few Saguaros growing right above Arizona sycamores in this place where desert, water, and oaks converge.
As great as the flora was, it was rivaled by the butterflies. Pipevine swallowtails and sulfurs swarmed at every water crossing.
I felt privileged indeed, to stand in this last high oasis above the desert world
