Saguaro National Park

In Travel, US National Parks • Add Comment

The park gets its name from the native saguaro cactus. Saguaro National Park is located in the Sonoran Desert in southern Arizona, but by no means is it a desert. Other than the tall and impressive saguaro, there are so many varieties of cacti of all shapes and sizes.
