A tall Saguaro and a Chan-Fruit Cholla

I took this hike after setting up our camp at Picacho Peak State Park in Southern Arizona about 25 miles north of Tucson. I decided I would just photograph some cactus on my hike. Arizona has been in a dry spell of some 80 days now without rain and even the cactus looked very dehydrated.
My next post will be about my hike to Picacho Peak.
