Session Information

Field Trip / Saguaro West Sunset

Friday, May 16 / 6:00pm / Saguaro National Park

Saguaro National Park is one of the great places to photograph the majestic saguaro cactus. Saguaro West at sunset with the Santa Rosa Mountains as a backdrop, can provide some of the most breathtaking sunset image.

The western Tucson Mountain District also has some wonderful petroglyphs of the ancient Hohokam people. We will meet at the West’s visitor center and make a short hike into the desert of the park.
