Saguaro National Park, AZ (QTVR)

 

Southern Arizona's Saguaro National Park West Visitor Center in the Sonoran Desert. The park's most prominent feature is the boundless variety of unique and majestic Saguaro cactus, which grows nowhere in the world except the Sonoran Desert. The Tucson Basin provides ideal conditions for sustaining dense stands of Saguaro.
