The saguaro cactus only grows in southern Arizona, in California along the Colorado River and in northern Mexico. It can live more than 200 years, attaining heights of 30-40 feet. You can see a lot of saguaro cactus in their natural habitat at the Saguaro National Park in Tucson.
The Ranger led walk through the park brings lots of insight and understanding of the topography, climate etc.
After visiting the park, we went to the top of Mount Lemon. Where we were comfortable in short sleeves at Saguaro park, there was snow on the mountain (they had had 1.5 feet of snow the week before).
The terrain is interesting in that it is desert at the bottom of the mountain and evergreen trees at the top.
