Re: That'sYou're right! It's a truly awesome place to
go for a hike. In fact, a trail goes right
past this huge Saguaro, on the outskirts of
Saguaro National Park (East).
This is the view looking east towards the Rincon Peak Wilderness.

Re: 10/10No problemo!
I worked on the trails at Saguaro (east) for
one season. It was pretty 'rad' down there!

Re: 10/10Absolutely. Rincon peak's a killer hike, as are Mica and Tanque verde (long as you don't do them in the summer!).

Re: 10/10The summer would kill me down there!
I always liked Romero Canyon, just outside
of Santa Catalina State Park. What an awesome place to roast hotdogs !!!

Re: 10/10Indeed, a great spot. Ever hike up the canyon to Romero Pass, just under Cathedral Rock? Great run with some cool waterfalls along the way....

Re: 10/10Geez, I did make it up there in 1994.
I always got Cathedral Rock mixed up with
Finger Rock, until somebody actually (gave)
me the finger, then I managed to straighten
myself out on my topography lesson.
Mount Lemmon looks awesome from the Pass !!!
(Of course, that was before the fire.)

tallest one?is this one the tallest saguaro?

Re: tallest one?Liba ... the short answer is 'no.'
In it's prime, this one was only 50-feet tall.
If you want to see the tallest, head out to
Baja California, Mexico.
The tallest is called the cardon, measured
at 63 feet, which is as tall as four giraffes.
I've seen a few that were 50+ feet tall when I worked at Saguaro National Park near Tucson.
