Although
we had only a couple of days in Arizona , I
really wanted to make my dad’s first trip to Arizona
and ironically the reason why
we were originally planned on venturing down to Southern Arizona was in hopes
of trying a lunch place by the O`odham Reservation with a side stop to the
Saguaro National Park. However after
over 10 hours of driving just the day before for the Grand Canyon and the
possibly inconsistent hours of that lunch place, we decided to save the
additional couple of hours detour and just visit Saguaro as When in Arizona
Arizona
seems synonymous with cactus so it seemed fitting that we would bring my dad to
a park in the middle of the Sonoran Desert with cacti as far as the eye can
see. There are 2 sides to this park so
we decided that the West is the place to be.
With no attendant at the entrance of this park, it can be confusing
trying to figure out where to go. We
literally entered and exited the other side of the park off Picture Rock Road
without seeing anyone, only to discover that we should have stayed on Sandario
connecting to Kinney Road which will bring you to the Visitor Center where you
check in and pay your $10 per car fee or complimentary with the senior pass
that have been getting a workout this year.
Mainly
here for scenery and pictures, we traversed around the paved trails for up
close and personal pictures including the prickly pear cactus
which we had eaten in
fry form just the night before in Sedona
and then drove the scenic Bajada Loop Drive
