Our first spring in Arizona so we went south toward Tucson. We were rather taken with the scenery, especially the Saguaro Cactus in bloom.
We stopped at San Xavier del Bac Mission first. It was completed in 1797 and still is an active Catholic church.
Then we hiked Sabino Canyon. It's quite lovely with great views and some amazing Saguaros.
Then we drove through Saguaro National

The interior. Exactly who did the decor is not known
However it is beautiful
The two towers and the entrance
There is some amazing craftsmanship here.
In Sabino Canyon and our first bloming Saguaro
We loved the flowers on tops
Hiking Sabino Canyon
Yes more cactus fuzz. What can I say were were smitten
Looking down into the valley
On the trail
Loking toward Tuscon
Those little specs below are people
On to Saguaro National Park
More cactus
Saguaro look like they are happy to see you waving hello
