The Boulders Resort ~ Carefree, Arizona – The Sonoran Desert offers a landscape that is singularly unique in all of the southwest.  For it is here that the mighty saguaro cactus makes it home.  And it is also here, amidst towering 12-million-year-old granite boulders, that the award-winning Boulders Resort welcomes its guests.

The Boulders Resort is part of the Waldorf Astoria collection, and for 25 years has offered baby boomer travelers legendary personalized service, a world-class golf destination with 36-holes of golf designed by Jay Morrish, and a 1,300 acre setting in the Sonoran Desert that is simply unparalleled.

In fact, we made a visit to The Boulders Resort a number of years ago, and loved the area so much that we now call the Sonoran Desert our home.  Furthermore, we can see those massive granite boulders (pictured above) from our back yard.

As we were contemplating how to share the magic that is The Boulders Resort, we figured that words just can’t express our experience.  Therefore, rather than attempting to describe our experience in text, we made this video to show you our experience.

Take a peek…

Have you ever seen a place so unique in its beauty?

With its incredible setting, and a hotel staff highly trained to create a luxurious resort experience, we are very pleased to share one of our favorite desert resorts with you and give it a high “Roaming Boomers” recommendation.

Disclosure:  our wonderful experience was provided by the folks at The Boulders Resort.  Thanks!  It was fabulous!
