The Sonoran Desert in Arizona is one of our favorite locations to visit. There is just something about the giant saguaro cactus and the other incredible plants and animals of this environment.
The Saguaro National Park is unique in that it is actually in two different parts: The Tucson Mountain District and the Rincon Mountain District. One section is west of Tucson, the other is east of town. First designated as a National Monument in 1933, the monument was officially made a National Park in 1994.
Sher and I went to the Rincon Mountain District one afternoon when we were checking out some antique and art stores on the far est side of Tucson.
