November 11, 2020 - Sabino Canyon, Tucson |
||||||
Lynnette and I spent the afternoon hiking in the Sabino Canyon recreation area which is northeast of Tucson in the foothills. | ||||||
Although these pictures don't really capture it, the trails we hiked were more interesting and scenic than those of Sagauro National Park East and West.
|
||||||
Some classic Sagauros with the Santa Catalina Mountains in the background. | ||||||
There were ton so Sagauros, much as you want.
|
||||||
This is a dead Sagauro Cactus. They essentially have a skeleton -- like a tighly packed group of sticks -- underneath the green skin. The skeleton is very strong; it has to be to support all those arms.

Now we're walking through a canyon section. | ||||||
