When you think of Saguaro National Park, what comes to mind?
Most people immediately think of the saguaro cactus which are indigenous to the southwestern
United States. In fact, the saguaro has become a symbol that is often used to represent this
part
of the country. There's more to the national park than just the cactus!
Did you know that the park is also home to some petroglyphs? The Hohokam society is credited
with the rock art that sits at the top of Signal Hill in the park's Tucson Mountain District (Saguaro
West). There's a picnic area at Signal Hill plus a short hiking trail that leads to the summit of
Summit Hill. It's a very easy hike as the hill is quite small, but the reward at the top is worth the
hike!
