Visitors Center, Saguaro National Monument
Additional Details:
| A saguaro forest towering over undergrowth of typical Sonoran Desert vegetation, amid spectacular surroundings dominated by three massive mountain ranges. Spectacular in any season, the monument is especially beautiful during April when the desert is carpeted with a multicolored assortment of short-lived wildflowers. And May brings cactus blossoms of many smaller varieties which are dwarfed by the towering fluted columns of the saguaros themselves, crowned with gleaming tiaras of creamy white blooms that later become edible fruits of brilliant scarlet. |
