Description
The aptly named Cactus Forest Drive winds through the giant saguaro of Saguaro National Park in Tuscon, Arizona. This section of the National Park is the Rincon Mountain district east of Tucson, Az. Saguaro cacti as far as the eye can see.
Saguaro National Park is home to the nations 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.
Along the mountain ridges,
Across the desert floor;
Arms like verdant armor,
Stalwarts guard our door.
Shading for the lizard,
Haven for the wren,
Source of inspiration,
For past and present men.
~Earl Bloss, “Saguaros,”
