Join us as we take a scenic drive through the majestic Saguaro Nation Park, Arizona's less famous National Park when compared to the Grand Canyon.  We stop at all the scenic overlooks and places of interest along the way.

This park is actually divided into two districts, about 20 miles from each other.  The Tucson Mountain District, which is 10 miles west of the city, and the Rincon Mountain District, which is 10 miles east of Tucson.  In this video we are visiting the Rincon Mountain District of Saguaro National Park.  Check out our previous video where we visit the Tucson Mountain District here: A Scenic Drive Through Saguaro National Pa...

Both districts were formed in order to protect the native Giant Saguaro cactus, which is only found in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, California and Northern Mexico.

Luckly, we filmed this in late March, when the Park's flowers showed-off their beautiful spring colors.  

Sit back and relax as we explore this beautiful and unique region.
