Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The giant saguaro, a well-known symbol of the American West, grows in very few places in the United States, and Saguaro National Park near Tucson was created to protect these rare and magnificent plants.

The park is located at the heart of the Sonoran desert, at about 2,400 feet above sea level and is one of the top Arizona attractions.

The best time to visit the park is from November to March when the temperatures are cooler.

In February and March, these giant cacti and several other desert plants create a spectacular show with their colorful blooms. Saguaro National Park is one of the top Arizona destinations.

The park is a great location for short, pleasant hikes for families, but it also offers more challenging adventure wilderness hikes and camping in the backcountry. Bikers can enjoy Cactus Forest Loop Drive or the Hope Camp Trail.
