Travelling with my husband to Tucson, we decided to drive the Saguaro West on the way. It was 107 degrees F outside so we only did the valley view hike. The scenery is outstanding and I appreciate the Saguaro and how many years it takes them to grow but my husband isn't as keen as I and so we decided... more

We visited both the East and West Parks on a recent visit to Tucson. Whilst both were spectacular with their Majestic Saguaros (I wish we had them in the UK!!) we found that the drive around the East encountered a more sparsely populated Saguaro Forrest whilst the West was more densely populated.

The ranger programs were fantastic. Be sure to look online at the nps.gov website before heading out to see what's happening. What to see and do in Saguaro... more

We headed over Gate’s Pass to Saguaro National Park West, home of the cactus of the same name and one of the few places in the USA it grows. The well-appointed visitor’s centre only had about 4 groups in attendance. We were encouraged to watch a slide show about the Native Americans’ attachment to the desert which turned out to... more

Worth a visit if you're in the Tucson area. The park stands west of the Old Tucson Studios and the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. It's an short and easy drive with a few opportunities for walks/hikes amongst the saguaro cactuses. more
