Photography / Travel Journal
Traveling from Tucson to Safford for a meeting the following day, I stopped off at the Rincon Mountain District of Saguaro. This park is divided into two districts. I have visited the Tucson Mountain District on a previous trip. I didn't spend long this time, but drove around the 8 miles scenic road to photograph some of the beautiful Saguaro Cactus.
This was one of my favorite shots. Capturing the snow capped mountains in the background with desert cactus in the foreground.

During a recent business trip to Arizona, I spent an evening at the Saguaro National Park in Tucson. It was hot in the desert and walking around in my work clothes, black pants was a little tough. Not the best planning on my part but then again most of my little excursions are spontaneous anyway and that's part of the fun. Besides - the looks I get when I show up at the visitors center in business attire and ask where the best hikes are for photographs.....simply priceless.
The thing that amazed me about the Saguaro cactus' was the size. These monsters are huge.
