Tucson Saguaro Scenic Drive
🚗9 mapped stops
A loop through both districts of Saguaro National Park — the only place on Earth where the giant saguaro cactus grows in such density. The east side's Cactus Forest Drive winds through old-growth saguaros that were ancient when Tucson was founded, and the west side delivers petroglyphs, Gates Pass, and the world-class Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.
