Saguaro National Park - East Rincon

Meanwhile in the other side of the park

things seem to be a bit more lusher and taller.

And don't forget the mountains everywhere.

Prickly pear cactus.

A blurry cholla. 

Still cool.

If you see a hole in the cactus - that's where

birds are nesting.

How cool is that.

Love the drive through - it's still pretty and

hasn't gotten old.

 

Saguaro National Park - West

 I had no idea that the Saguaro National park 

was sooooo big. 

This is the western part of the park

and of course cactus everywhere...........

The straw man standing in front is actually the skeleton

of a Saguaro cactus.

These are walking stick cactuses love the pretty color red.

Love the landscape it's wild and beautiful.

4 wheelin' down the Old Ore Road

Big Bend National Park.

The sign said recommend 4-wheel drive.

Well I highly recommend 4-wheel drive - this road was

built by horse and wagon and its rough 

in quite a few places.

But the views were amazing and the ride fun.

 And this roadrunner - he was the best poser.

 Ruins of an old house.

 The cactus were beautiful.

 The Rio Grande.

 Hot Springs House.

Will be returning tomorrow to see the mountains

up close and personal.
