Saguaro National Park

A nice ride through the desert. more Cacti and critters than can imagine. It’s about a 35 min loop if you drive slow and at the end there is an informative visitor at the end with gifts and lots of info.

visited this National Park in spring 2022, loved the place, those gigantic Saguaro cacti are awesome, they come in different shapes and height!

Giant Column National Park is actually looking at cactus. This is the first time I have seen such a large area and a very special cactus. Compared with the small cactus in my office, all of them here are giants.

Cactus National Park is located in the southeastern part of Phoenix and is adjacent to Tucson City. It covers an area of more than 2000 square kilometers and is divided into two parts, East and west. Cactus National Park was established in 1938 to protect the cactus species. There are 25 different types of cactus in the park, the most famous of which is the giant cylindrical cactus, the king of desert. The cactus grows balls in 5-10 years, blossoms in 60 years, branches in 100 years, peaks in 150 years to growth period, and then gradually withers. The vigorous cactus can even live to 200-300 years, and its color turns black. The wild species that inhabit the park are snakes, scorpions, turtles, owls, boars, eagles and so on.*

Saguaro National Park is located near Tucson, Arizona, USA. It was planned as a national memorial area on March 1, 1933 and promoted to a national park on October 14, 1994. The Park protects part of the Sonoran Desert. Its name comes from the giant columnar cactus known as "Saguaro" that grows in the desert.

The giant pillars, which are all over the mountains, would be shocked if they weren't for the people living in the nearby areas who had never seen such a tall plant. There are self-driving sightseeing paths in the park, as well as hiking and mountain climbing, but don't come in summer, spring and autumn...
