Getaway in the Desert

Saguaro National Park is situated in the city of Tuscon, Arizona, which creates a remote experience that's never too far from civilization. Here, the desert offers a different kind of getaway: You can escape the winter cold and avoid the desert heat. During this time of year, daytime temperatures range from the low 50s to the high 70s.

There's a lot to see and do here, including rugged wilderness hiking and backcountry camping. The desert environment can be unforgiving, though, even in winter, so Saguaro National Park offers ranger-guided hikes and programs if you don’t think you’re ready to venture out on your own just yet.
