Beautiful! We drove and hiked through the Saguaro West. Excellent location for sunset photos. We didn't spend much time in the visitor center, so we didn't see the interpretive exhibits. Thankfully folks had the foresight to save this area from development and make it into a National Park. Looking forward to exploring this park more the next time I get to AZ.

you wanna see cactus..? here you will see them, and tons of other great stuff. Stop at the Visitor Center or check out the website www.nps.gov/sagu for what is happening each day.

We only visited the visitors center. We had already driven thru Saguaro East. We understood the road in Saguaro West was not paved. Visitor Center at Saguaro West in newer & nicer than Saguaro East.

This is a wonderful experience with walking trails and stunning scenery. A forest of Saguaro cactus, some 25 feet in height and 300 years old. Their is an array of birds and many species of cactus. Watch out for the Cholla as it can literally jump out and attach itself and become a painful visit reminder. The visitor center and its volunteers is modern and very informative. Very close to Old Tucson and the Desert Museum just outside town. Visit in the winter if possible or in early spring for the blooms. Summer can literally be life threatening with the 100+ temperatures.

One of the most beautiful spots in Tucson Gilbert Ray campground is located between the Desert Museum and the Old Tucson Studios. It has superb views of Gates Pass, saguaro, and the Tucson stars. Friendly staff and great RV sites on a first-come, first-served basis. Large and small RVs can find a spot. Several tent sites available. Hiking trails. Clean bathrooms, water, dump station, trash/recycle bins. Avoid hot summer months, as altitude is low. Super get-a-way in a National Park.

We had spent the early afternoon at Old Tucson and decided to visit Saguaro NP near the end of the day. It was an excellent choice. There were very few visitors left so the drive up the dirt road was no problem.The Saguaros take on another dimension with the setting sun. And just before the actual sunset you can see the contrast between the green cacti and the red soil.

To a North westerner, my idea of beauty is a hillside covered in fir trees; not one scattered with the saguaro cactus. However, the hesitant beauty of these bare green poles sticking out of a rock strewn dessert with thin scrubby brush does begin to grow on you. The more one becomes acquainted with the park, the better one understands that there is a wealth of animal and plant life that is supported by this otherwise desolate looking area. The National Parks Service is administering two sections of this park; one on the east side of the modern city of Tucson and one on the west. As the city and civilization encroach on this pristine area, it is important to preserve this landscape so that future generations can make up their minds about the beauty of this magnificent area. Thanks again National Park Service.

We were fortunate enough to not only see the natural beauty of the park, but also attend a short talk about the geology of the area. The lecturer was a retired professor of geology who volunteers his time to educate visitors on the fascinating history and geology of this unique place.You can choose to simply drive through the park or take the walking paths to see the amazing saguaro (and other cacti and plants) up close. We had just come from the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, which is just down the street, so our visit here was relatively quick as we were a bit tired. I highly recommend adding this park to your list of must-see places in the area. We are very fortunately to have the National Park Service to protect this natural treasure.

Great time of the year to visit. The drive through the park was fantastic. A visit to the visitor center, was also a lot of fun, a great slide show was presented. With my wife currently in a wheel chair because of a broken foot, it was nice to find two totally paved walkways out into the desert to see lots of cacti and learn about the desert life.

So, when my wife said let's go to the Saguaro National Park to see some cacti I was just overjoyed. Not! Who wants to drive a few hours south of Phoenix to the Tuscon area to see a bunch of cacti? Not me. But interestingly enough the park turned out to be a pretty cool place. The kids liked it and the nature presentation was interesting. I never knew the saguaro cactus was really a tree and if you see a dried up dead one, it's really woody on the inside. Well other people may have known that but I didn't. Anyway, the nature hikes were pretty neat and it was pretty cool. My favorite national park. No. Worth the drive to complete the list of national parks? Sure.
