Saguaro National Park located in southern Arizona is dedicated to the conservation of the iconic saguaro cactus and the unique Sonoran Desert ecosystem. Split into two distinct districts, the park offers diverse landscapes, rich biodiversity, and a glimpse into the region’s cultural history. The park is named after the saguaro cactus, the largest cactus in the United States.
Saguaro National Park is divided into two areas, the Tucson Mountain District (West) and the Rincon Mountain District (East). Both are near the city of Tucson. The two districts are separated by about 30 miles and together encompass over 91,000 acres. The park’s elevation ranges from 2,180 to 8,666 feet, resulting in diverse habitats from lowland deserts to mountainous pine forests.
