Saguaro National Park on the edge of Tuscon, Arizona proves to be one of the most incredible desert spaces I have ever experienced. We consider ourselves desert rats and have spent countless hours exploring all that this amazing environment has to offer. Saguaro, however, is a place all of its own. The park is broken up into 2 sections - we spent our time on the eastern side and we were not disappointed. The saguaro cactus grow to 40 feet tall and live for over 150 years. They are a source of food and shelter for many animals that call the desert home, including the native Americans who used to live in this part of the US. I think of all the parks we have visited thus far, this one stands out the most in my mind.
