As we turned in toward Tucson, we decided to take a quick trip through the Saguaro National Park. When we pulled up to the entrance, the park ranger told us that all the trails were closed due to extreme fire danger and that if we wanted to pull off the road to take a picture, we needed to pull off on paved areas only to prevent starting a fire. As we drove the loop, we saw what he meant. The entire area was extremely dry and looked like it was hanging on its last thread of life. It was cool, though, to see all the different types of cactus backing up against the mountains. Maybe next time the trails will be open, and we can check out the accessible hike!
