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.
The Desert Botanical Garden, opened in 1939, covers 56 hectares in Papago Park, about 12 km east of downtown Phoenix. Some 50,000 plants from the world's deserts grow along themed trails, among them the Desert Discovery Loop and the Sonoran Desert Nature Loop, with saguaros, agaves and wildflowers; in December the paths are lit by candle lanterns for Las Noches de las Luminarias.
