Saguaro National Park, Desert national park near Tucson, United States.
The park spans 92,000 acres across two districts, featuring dense concentrations of giant saguaro cacti within the Sonoran Desert landscape of Arizona.
The area transformed from Saguaro National Monument in 1933 to National Park status in 1994, preserving native desert landscapes and archaeological sites.
More than 450 archaeological sites and 60 historic structures document the presence of Hohokam people who inhabited this region from 200 to 1450 CE.
The park maintains 165 miles of trails across both districts, with entrance fees of $10 per vehicle and $5 for pedestrians or cyclists.
The geological formations include 1.7-billion-year-old rocks, with the Tucson Mountains shaped by volcanic eruptions 70 million years ago.
