The land of the Mesas is harsh to some, home to others. The sun shines down creating a haze of heat. Sand swirls in the wind, and only cacti dare stand unshaded. But amid such dry conditions, so much is to be appreciated in the desert. It’s a landscape that teaches us resilience, shows us diversity, and gives protection to the heartiest of species. The desert, home of Mesas, gives us the strength to bounce back.
