Papago Park

Papago Park is a desert park of red sandstone buttes on the border of Phoenix and Tempe, about 12 km east of downtown. Short trails lead to Hole-in-the-Rock, a butte pierced by a natural opening used by the Hohokam to follow the sun, and to the white pyramid tomb of Arizona's first governor, George Hunt. The Phoenix Zoo and the Desert Botanical Garden lie within it.
