If he's in the desert then that's where I'm going.

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.  The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread."  Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone.' "  The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And he said to him, "I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. If you worship me, it will all be yours."  Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.' "  The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down from here. For it is written: " 'He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully;  they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.' "  Jesus answered, "It is said: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.' "  When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.  Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside.

Luke 4:1‭-‬14 NIV

[Jesus healed the leper and told him not to tell anyone] However, he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the matter, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter the city, but was outside in deserted places; and they came to Him from every direction.

Desert life: 

While the desert climate is ideal for active lifestyles, with 300 days of sunshine per year and a healthy mean temperature of 66 degrees, there are summer days where the temperature exceeds 115 degrees. It is important to note the dangers of this extreme heat we often experience. The desert winds also pose hazards to health and property.Dust clouds are common in wind storms and the dust is easily inhaled, so if you have respiratory problems stay inside on windy days. Due to the few rainy days we experience, the desert ground isn't absorbent. When it rains, the water runs off the ground and flash floods are common, and happen in just seconds.

So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.

Luke 5:16 NKJV 

Ewart Scott Grogan (1874–1967) was an English explorer, politician, and entrepreneur. In 1898 the dashing British adventurer Ewart Grogan was head-over-heels in love—but he needed the approval of his beloved's skeptical, aristocratic stepfather. To prove his worth, Grogan set out on an epic quest to become the first person to walk the length of Africa. He was the first person in recorded history to walk the length of Africa, following a path from Cape Town to Cairo.
