Description

Saguaro National Park, Arizona
The park is divided into two sections, called districts, lying approximately 20 miles (32 km) east and 15 miles (24 km) west of the center of the city of Tucson, Arizona. The total area in 2011 was 91,442 acres (37,005 ha) of which 70,905 acres (28,694 ha) is designated wilderness. There is a visitor center in each of the two districts. Both are easily reached by car from Tucson, but there is no public transport into the park. Both districts conserve fine tracts of the Sonoran Desert, including ranges of significant hills, the Tucson Mountains in the west and the Rincon Mountains in the east. The park gets its name from the saguaro, a large cactus which is native to the region. Many other kinds of cactus, including barrel, cholla, and prickly pear, are abundant in the park. One endangered animal, the Lesser Long-nosed Bat, lives in the park part of the year during its migration, together with one threatened species, the Mexican Spotted Owl.
Saguaro National Monument was created on March 1, 1933 by President Herbert Hoover. On October 14, 1994, Congress elevated Saguaro to National Park status.
Facilities in the park include 150 miles (240 km) of well marked and maintained hiking trails, and shorter walking trails with interpretative information available. Backcountry hiking is not advisable during the hot summer months.

Thank you very much Janet. Can't remember where we found him. Normally we do both parts of the park.

I love Saguaro National Park East-Rincon Mountain District. I go there all the time. It's just 12 minutes from my home in Vail. There is an entrance fee, unless you have a pass. That only takes you into a very small area accessible by car. The rest of the Park would require using the hiking trails. Driving along Old Spanish Trail gives you a wonderful view from the outside looking in. I never tire of visiting there. This crested saguaro cactus, must be in the Saguaro National Park West-Tucson Mountain District. I don't travel there as often. The saguaro cactus is what I love about the Sonoran Desert. Liked
