Beskrivning
Saguaro National Park is 92,000-acre (37,000 ha) park in southeastern Arizona. It protects desert landscapes, fauna, and flora, including the giant saguaro cactus. The saguaro is the universal symbol of the American west. These majestic plants, found only in a small portion of the United States, are protected by Saguaro National Park, to the east and west of the city of Tucson. Here you have a chance to see these enormous cacti, and the birds associated with the desert environment and cacti. The Cactus Forest Trail that starts on the outskirts of Tuscon is an easy way to explore a small part of the area. Among the birds you can encounter are Elf Owl (on and in saguaro cactus), Gilded Flicker, Ladder-backed Woodpecker, Gila Woodpecker, Cactus Wren, Gambel's Quail, Greater Roadrunner, Verdin, Black-tailed Gnatcatcher, Pyrrhuloxia and Lesser Nighthawk.
