DF/Description

 There is a deep peace that pervades this area. A quiet that only those comfortable in natural surroundings can hope to understand. Hollow echoes fill the pinion-pine-filtered air and a juniper creaks somewhere nearby. That sound is followed by hushed movement in the sumac which surrounds the Desert Flower, a contemporary motel of wood, stone, and glass that lies close to the ground.

 The motel is a complex built in three parts: A private living quarters, a great hall, and a set of cabins. They are all attached by breezeways and are arranged in a u-shape around a central rock formation that trickles water into a shallow pond at its base. Beyond the buildings one can make out a part of the Sandia mountain range. There is parking to the left of the structure and a path leads through the buildings toward the gardens beyond them.
