Saguaro National Park
Just outside of Tucson lies Saguaro National Park, which is home to hundreds of saguaro cacti, the iconic symbol of the old West. There are endless scenic hikes and wildlife habitats, and the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum isn't to be missed. The star of the park, of course, are the cacti themselves, and there are few more beautiful sights than seeing them silhouetted against the beauty of a magnificent desert sunset.
Giant saguaro cacti silhouette against a fiery sunset, a roadrunner darting into the brush, the silence of the desert..... are all part of the allure.
