Saguaro National Park Reviews

It's hard to take a good picture of this park. It's so vast and the concentration of saguaro cactus is mindblowing.

Saguaro cacti are incredible and something you need to see at some point.

I LOVE Saguaro National Park! Whether you go to see the variety of cactus/cacti, the wildlife, the views, or have your picture taken next to a towering Saguaro, every visit brings a new adventure.

With various hiking, biking, and walking trails, there's something for everyone. For those who prefer to take in the scenery from the confines of a vehicle, there's an 8-mile loop that winds through the Park. Whether you drive, bike, hike, or walk, remember to always be mindful and aware of wildlife and/or other visitors who may be sharing your immediate area. In short, just practice using common sense and consideration.

The desert, even during the wettest Monsoon, can deceive your sense of security. Proper hydration and limiting your exposure to the Sun should definitely be among your priorities anywhere in the desert. Be careful where and how far you wander - ALWAYS equip yourself with water, sunscreen, a hat, and eye protection to help minimize your exposure to the elements. You don't need to be afraid of the desert, but you do need to respect the desert.

Stop by the Visitor Center for information about the Park, ask questions, and enjoy your visit.

I love this place...easy peaceful scenic drive...food available. ..aldo you csn packnin your lunch ...thry dont care .. suggeest..to drive west on Speedway to go over gates pass Road ..cuts your driving time in half..unless your are coming from the north or south of Mountian range

Beautiful place to visit and so much to see.
I will be back here many more times.

Absolutely loved backpacking in Saguaro! Had a lot fun
Would be coming back soon

Land of Gentle Giants. The majesty of the landscape is awe-inspiring.

Cool stuff to look at in nature, crazy wicked hot. Try to go early or later to see and hike.

Must see park. Lots of walking and hiking area. Also good for a nice drive if you don t like to walk. Very beautiful and scenic park. If you like the desert and cacti great place to visit. Very tranquil and relaxing place. Not overcrowded.

Granddaughter Torre and I had a great time, enjoying nature and the Video and Discourse in the Visitor Center

Saguaro National Park is a very interesting place to spend a day. We entered the park through the Rincon entrance and although traffic was lined up well back from the entrance, the flow was acceptably smooth. The ranger at the entrance was friendly, courteous and helpful, offering a map of the park and answering our questions. The views are awesome and the driving loop is a convenient way to access the park without ever getting out of your vehicle if that is your choice.

It was absolutely beautiful, once you seen the desert of Arizona, you will definitely want to not only help preserve this fragile ecosystem, but definitely return on vacation..

One of the coolest national parks i ve been to! The landscape and size of the cacti is insane. While the saguaros are the the main feature there s a wide variety of different cactus around the park.

Beautiful. Just watch out for the park rangers that are bored and want to be traffic cops.

It was hot and dry and a total adventure, our guide knew his way well and I think this is what the old wild west was like before anyone went there.

Beautiful and I managed some free souvenirs... Cactus ribs!

I fell in love with the beautiful sunsets at Saguaro National Park. The views were beyond beautiful and you can drive through the scenery and stop and take pictures along the loop. Absolutely amazing!

With loads of well marked and maintained hiking trails you'll love this place.

This is where I like to go to unwind. Even amazing in the winter.

These are very large cactus's and there's so many,we had a very good day at the Saguaro Park. Would highly recommend stopping bye.

Don't let the summer temperatures turn you away -- fantastic 8-mile driving tour. You can see this amazing world from the comfort of your air conditioned car. There are plenty of place to pull over and take pictures. It is like entertaining another world and well worth the trip!

A National Park, which means a quality outdoor experience. Not as much to see as other NPs, though.

Absolutely gorgeous! This is the place to go if you want to see where all the post card pictures are taken. Nice hiking trails and saguaro cactus like you've never seen before. If your visiting in the summer bring lots of water and sunscreen, therea very little to no shade and it gets HOT!

We had a short visit and drove the loop around the park. Signage was very informative. We learned a lot anout the Sonoran desert and Saguaro cacti.

The view of the mountains is breath taking. It is a place you must see when you visit Arizona.

Beautiful desert scenery! Great hiking opportunities!

If you like chasing sunsets and love cacti, then this is the place for you. Submerse yourself in a forest of cactus. It truly is another world. Pull into a rest stop in the park and watch the sunset but do t leave the minute the sun goes down because the color show starts thereafter and oh are the colors magnificent.

Wide open space where there is lots to see without the big crowds!

Nice park but nothing special in the summer, scorching heat around 40 degrees impossible to visit on foot even for small walks.

This is a very beautiful place no no matter what time of day you go you will enjoy the view of any spot you decide to park, walk, or bike. Also great for hiking and photography.

Loved the park, both East and West sides. More isolated on East side which makes for more hiking and nature

A beautiful park for walking the dogs and biking alike!

Loved the easy access and great views without needing to travel through the whole park.

An incredible experience in the desert of Sonoran animals and plants.

Beautiful national park with great views of the Saguaro cacti. They have a 6 mile dirt road loop which shows you the most concentrated parts of the Saguaro. Along that Loop there is also Signal Hill where you can see some Indian petroglyphs that are over 500 years old. The visitor's center allowed us to detach our 20-foot trailer so we could take our truck through the dirt road loop. Very nice. Be advised, there is no overnight camping anywhere within the park.

Magnificent! I loved the giant cactus as far as the eye can see.

Went to the Rincon side of the park and took a few short hikes around the forest. Make sure you carry in enough water. The saguaros (that are left) are awesome and worth the visit. The park has a good bit of wildlife and various other types of cacti.

East side is a one way road with many turn offs. Lots of good photo opportunities.

This is one of our most beautiful places to visit in az.
Watching as the monsoon rains began spectacular views across the sky.. truly a awesome picture rocks!
A must see!

An absolute gem of a national park with so much history and spiritual energy!

Last visited for a moon light hike. Wish we were here here at a time of year that it was more twilight than dark. The sunsets from the EAST park are amazing as you watch the sun set in the west, and the lights of the city flicker on.

Amazing place to experience the beauty of the Sonoran desert.

If you are ever in the Tucson area take some time to get out and tour the saguaro park. It is a great experience.

It was fun and creative. It was safe and fun finding all the angles using my camera!

One of the most beautiful places I have ever visited in my life!! We enjoyed the scenic views of Saguaro valleys and the beauty of Sonoma desert! Wonderful place for outdoor cardio activities, like running, biking, hiking, jogging, walking etc. I would highly recommend this place for visiting!

Sense of peace and quiet, vast expanse of preserved land, hot, little shade, nice selection of merchandise in visitor center, friendly park staff.

Beautiful, Visitors Center closed. Rest rooms open

Takes your breath away. Calming. Could stay there all day

I love to go here to enjoy the beauty of the desert. There are several hiking trails and a scenic drive with pull-outs to enjoy the sights.

An excellent experience and place to go.
The rangers are very helpful and very knowledgeable. They have great presentations and there is a lot of information around the guest center.
As for activity, you can do as little or as much as you like. If mobility is an issue, the center offers nice presentations and there are plenty of areas, within the park, you can drive and enjoy the Saguaros. If you are into hiking, there are many options that get you close and personal with the "stars" of the park.
Overall, a great place to visit and take guests.

Great park, nice trails and lots to see. Very clean and enjoyable

Love this place! Husband and I had our wedding there.

What a Wonderful Park with a Ton of Very Different types of Catuses! A Great staff if NPS and Volunteers!

The people that work here are absolutely top notch, not to mention how great the park looks. We visited the western part of the park, didn't get to see the eastern section but will eventually.
