Near Tucson, Arizona, this National Park is divided into two sections, approximately 20 miles east and 15 miles west of the center of town. Both have visitor centers and are easily reached by car.

The park was established as Saguaro National Monument on March 1, 1933, and changed to a national park on October 14, 1994.
