Saguaro Views

Out on a hike in Tonto National Forest, 
near Superstition Mountains,
I often stop at Needle Point Vista.

The magnificent Saguaro Cactus, the state flower of Arizona, 
is composed of a tall, thick, fluted, columnar stem, 
18 to 24 inches in diameter, often with several large 
branches (arms) curving upward in the most distinctive 
conformation of all Southwestern cacti.
