After going to the Grand Canyon and having my mind...

After going to the Grand Canyon and having my mind blown and expectations set unreasonably high for the national park system, I expected Saguaro to be just your average national park. I was wrong. Off you're looking to get outdoors in a setting that is your stereotypical "desert" with cactus, sand etc, then this is your place.

Coming over the pass into the park is amazing, and don't worry about being tempted to take pictures for your car because they have a ton of scenic pull over spots. The visitors center has clean bathrooms and an informative exhibit on the park.

We saw a group of kids earning thier junior ranger badges and it looked very fun. Not did the kids look like they having a blast, but the ranger looked like they genuinely loved working with the kids. before getting thier badges they even made the children take a park ranger oath. the oath part made me wish I was ten again. If you have kids be sure to look into the junior rager program.

This isn't a park you see in TV shows or ads but it's a great park and the sunsets are incredible too!
