I have been surrounded by Saguaros since I moved to the Valley of the Sun in 1964, however I have never been to the NP. When we arrived, the saguaros were beginning to bloom (only those 40 years old and older). The park has an 8 mile dirt trail loop that displays some of the best saguaro and chaparral I have every seen. There are places for picnicking, however it was too hot that day for man or beast.
