That is what these five Saguaros were tagged as we walked by. On the King Canyon trail in Saguaro West is where we found the illustrious five.
Along the trail and all around Tucson is the evidence of the frost damage. With almost no winter rain and the frost damage to cactus and bushes, it seems there will be little desert color this spring.
Regardless it was a good day to get out for a hike along the trail.
Too bad about the frost damage. We always look forward to the colors of spring in the desert. Love the area around Tucson. Thanks for the great pictures.
ReplyDeleteFrom the article in the local paper, it can take up to five years for the Saguaro to manifest damage from the hard freeze we had
