| Saguaro National Park is a short drive west from Tuscon. For a Midwesterner, like me, this place is like an alien landscape. — Peter |
 |
| Unlike the dense forests of Minnesota, Saguaro's sparse vegetation allows for sweeping views and a sense of a vast space. |
 |
| The plants in Saguaro are both beautiful and fierce. The thorns on this plant look hair-like, but they are rigid and needle-sharp. |
 |
| Surrounding Saguaro are the Tuscon and Rincon Mountains. Tuscon's mountains rise to roughly 2500 feet. Rincon's mountains peak at 8600 feet. |
 |
| Give this this fuzzy looking plant plenty of room. Its spikes are ferocious. |
 |
| Everything Saguaro seems meant to kill. If the spiky plants and lack of water don't get you, the unrelenting sun just might. |
