Today, we’re heading to the heart of the Sonoran Desert to visit one of the most iconic places in the Southwest United States—Saguaro National Park!  We discuss some of the fascinating features of the park, the plants and animals (including the giant Saguaros!), and explore the history of the park.  

Junior Rangers are explorers, learning all about the park’s ecosystems, plants and animals, and how to protect nature.  The Junior Ranger program is not just for kids!
