A stroll through Saguaro National Park in Tucson, Arizona. During the month of December, the average high temperature there is 66°F. With 128 miles of hiking trails, winter is a great time to explore.

I’m so glad you enjoyed the desert Pepper. Yes, December is the prime visit time.
Wonderful landscape, so different to what I’m used to.
It truly is a beautiful place to be. Have a fun weekend, Sofia. 😊
Thank you and you too.
We have country like that here, but the vegetation it grows there is very different, so it is really good to see these and see what grows there.
I would love to experience your part of the world, Leanne.
Wonderful images of those giant cacti!
Thanks! The huge cacti are pretty impressive. 😉
Lovely, Pepper! Especially the cacti – of which I always love walking among!
Me too, as long as I don’t get too close. 😁
You’ve reminded me that the park (the eastern section) is close to our winter apartment in Tucson. We need to visit again before we head back north for the summer. Thanks for the reminder.
My pleasure! Hope you make it back.
Excellent choice for the week. Especially loved your cacti close-ups!
Thanks, Tina. 😉
Looks like a wonderful place to venture!
It definitely is, Donna. You would enjoy it.
Lovely to be able to be view the wide open space, and magnificent blue skies, Pepper, (plus the spiky inhabitants…🌵 )…thanks for the opportunity, my friend, …💙
It’s a wonderful place to be especially during the winter when the temps are milder. 😉
These are so different scenes, I have seen some similar in Nevada. Lovely images pepper
I visited years ago when I lived in Phoenix and found it amazing. I saw my first roadrunner there.
Love seeing those roadrunners scampers across the desert. Phoenix was at the top of our list of places we were considering moving to a couple of years ago. 😉
Ouch for those big spines! I have read this is a unique place to see those tall cacti. Terri is going to Tucson this week and plans to visit there. She is vacationing in Arizona and California this month.
Yes, this is a gorgeous place especially for seeing all kinds of cacti blooming. I’ve only been there once during the winter and another time in the middle of July. I would recommend going in the winter when the temps were perfect.
One of my favorite National Parks!
Mine, too! I hope I have a chance to go back again one day.
Fantastic captures, Pepper. The photos are wonderful.
Thank you very much, Egidio. 😊
Love those huge cacti!
Me, too! They are amazing. 😊
Thoughtful words accomplish much.
