Saguaro National Park has a vast variety of wildlife, and with the help of wilderness cameras, can be photographed to help with studies and for visitors to learn about animals only seen by chance.
Tucson, Arizona is home to the nation's largest cacti. The giant saguaro is the universal symbol of the American west. These majestic plants, found only in a small portion of the United States, are protected by Saguaro National Park, to the east and west of the modern city of Tucson. Here you have a chance to see these enormous cacti, silhouetted by the beauty of a magnificent desert sunset.
Saguaro National Park will temporarily close three roads in the park’s east district for maintenance and regrading. The one-way section of Cactus Forest Loop Drive will be closed October 16. Mica View Road and Camino Loma Alta will be closed October 14-22.
Saguaro National Park will temporarily close the west side Red Hills Visitor Center (2700 N Kinney Road) from Monday, July 8th through Wednesday, July 17th to replace the carpet.
