Saguaro National Park East

On By campingkonneys

The Saguaro National Park consists of two districts: the Rincon Mountain District (east) and the Tucson Mountain Desert (west). Both sections have desert flats with creosote bushes and cholla (that look like soft teddy bears, but they aren’t) to washes lines with saguaro. There is a scenic loop drive in each section of the park and 180 miles of hiking trails. We enjoyed the loop rides and would stop often at the different pullouts to walk through the brush and get better shots of the cacti.

  • Saguaro cacti like to be surrounded by a “nurse” plant; one that can keep it sheltered when it’s young.
