Visiting Saguaro National Park with a Group

The image of towering Saguaro cacti stretching towards a fiery Arizona sunrise is iconic. And there’s no better place to find these cacti than Saguaro National Park, which is located in Tucson. Tucson is flanked by Saguaro National Park, with Rincon Mountain to the east and Tucson Mountain to the west.

Many visitors recommend the Tucson Mountain district over Rincon Mountain, for it offers beautiful sunsets and contains more Saguaro cacti. However, the eastern Rincon Mountain district has more hiking trails and is the only region where backpacking is allowed. Which side you explore depends on your group’s individual interests and timeframe. The best time to visit Saguaro National Park is between October and April, when the weather is comfortable and not as hot as the summertime.

If you don’t feel like hiking, feel free to take a charter bus-friendly scenic drive through Saguaro National Park. The eastern Rincon Mountain offers an eight-mile drive through a cacti forest, where you can see the iconic cacti from the comfort of your charter bus. The western Tucson Mountain also offers a scenic drive, with five miles of saguaros, ironwood trees, and more desert vegetation. Rent a charter bus with National Charter Bus and observe at your leisure these beautiful landscapes in a spacious bus with A/C, power outlets, and everything you need to stay comfortable in the Arizona heat.
