Saguaro National Park Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Giant's Column National Park is located near Tucson, Arizona, USA. It was established in 1933 to protect the growing giant saguaro forest, hence the name of the park. The park covers an area of 368 square kilometers and is divided into two parts, east and west. The park is mostly desert terrain, mountain cactus forest and pine forest, which is a good place to enjoy desert scenery. There are three major highlights in the park: canyon overlooking, cactus forest driving and desert ecological tracking. The Saguaro Saguaro is the most striking feature of the desert and the entire national park, both aesthetically and biologically. Each giant cactus supports an entire fauna. The cactus forests are mostly scattered on the rocky slopes at the base of the desert mountains in the park, and the giant Saguaro cacti do not bloom until late May or early June. Although the park is dominated by Saguaro, it is also home to many species of plants, including hedgehog cacti, prickly pears, fusiform Mexican prickly wood, the ubiquitous creosote, and the famous thorny Jolia cactus.

The giant pillars, which are all over the mountains, would be shocked if they weren't for the people living in the nearby areas who had never seen such a tall plant. There are self-driving sightseeing paths in the park, as well as hiking and mountain climbing, but don't come in summer, spring and autumn...
