The Desert Inn
According to World War II journalist Ernie Pyle, the founder of the Desert Inn (Nellie Coffman) “started what was to become the whole vast vogue of desert vacationing, all the great resorts – Tucson and Phoenix and Death Valley – the fancy hotels and the southwest dude ranches…it all started with Mother Coffman. The whole thing was built on one woman’s spiritual love of the desert.” For an article on the Desert Inn's history, click here.
