As summer turns to fall, Tucson’s Saguaro National Park comes to vivid life with fiery blooms of ocotillo, aster, barrel cacti, morning glories, and summer poppies. Enormous cacti—the Giant Saguaro—silhouetted by the setting sun are found in only a small part of the world, at the northern edge of the Sonoran Desert. Tucson’s Saguaro National Park protects the most impressive forests of these sub-tropical giants, all along the fringes of Tucson.
