Saguaro National Park is actually split into two, we visited the western one. I love the Sonoran desert anyway and this park is just too cool if you love this stuff!! Remember: Saguaros have to be around fifty years old before they get their first "arm"!!
The Arizona Sonora Desert Museum is another gem. It's part garden, part zoo, part museum. Very cool place to visit, and it was jamming with folks because of Spring break, but still a wonderful spot to spend time.
They have areas for reptiles, tortoises, butterflies, humming birds, water critters, deer and big cats. They even have a man-made cave that you can walk through and learn about the geology of the area.
Ralph, enjoying the garden and a sunny Arizona day.
The beauty and variety of the Sonoran desert!
This cougar found the coolest, shadiest spot in his area and camped out there.
Even the beavers and otters were looking for cool waters and shade, so much so that they couldn't be seen:
Great day to be in Arizona. Oh wait, almost every day is a great day to be in Arizona!!
