Saguaro National Park é um parque nacional localizado nos Estados Unidos. Especificamente na cidade de Tucson, sudoeste do estado do Arizona. O parque é o lar da maior espécie de cacto da América do Norte, considerada um símbolo universal do oeste americano. A espécie pode atingir 15 metros e pesar até 1 tonelada, subsistir por 150 a 200 anos.

Hands down one of the best National Parks we've been to. Try to make time to visit both the East and West parks. We went in August 2021so summer heat plus covid made the park near empty. We didn't do any hikes longer than 2 miles, again summer heat but even the short ones are awesome :) Also a nice thing in the parks right now is that they are generally enforcing the indoor masking policy and capacity limits.

Saguaro Park Consists of both East and West. There are so many amazing trails to hike and wildlife to view. If you don’t have time for a hike, be sure and drive through the West side where the highest concentrations of Saguaros reside. The amount of cacti, flowers, and wildlife is truly amazing. A trip to the museum to view the amazing wildlife is also worth a stop.

My favorite National Park, LOVE me some Saguaros! Hot, hot, hot out there. Bring loads of water! We visited the West side of the park. The drive through Grants pass is breath taking! Please go slow around blind corners, you will come across some brave bicycle riders out there and there is zero room for them.

This was perhaps the most lovely national park I've ever seen, and certainly the best in Arizona. For the penultimate desert feel and experience, this is it. It is dense and easily accessible, not crowded, and offers a true John Wayne feel.

Great views of the Saguaro cactus, paddle cactus and the barrel cactus. Nice 8 mile driving loop with stops to take pictures. Also has parking spots that have trail heads to enjoy a walk. Went in the morning and it was nice but could tell it was going to get hot in the afternoon

We thoroughly enjoyed driving the loop trail based out of the Rincon Visitor Center in Saguaro National Park. It took us about an hour to drive around it, and we stopped about every five minutes to take another fantastic shot of the amazing landscape. It was really enjoyable to see the iconic cacti all around you and get familiar with life in the desert under such extreme conditions.
