Saguaro National Park

The best part about living in a new city is exploring! Tucson is a great place to explore, when it is not 110 or rainy out. Our city is right in the middle of Saguaro National Park, meaning if you go east you can enter the park, and if you go west, you also enter the park. We decided to go west one weekend, and walked and marveled at how tall these cacti actually get. And the saguaros don't sprout arms until they are at least 70 years old. The one I am standing next to is really old, and it was stuck by lightening and survived. We also saw a snake that scared the bejeezus out of me, and walked along the path for awhile.  It was fun checking out our new desert dwelling.
