I also am a member of the Friends and deeply respect the work they do. It is an absolutely gorgeous place and the trails and displays that they help maintain make it a star in the Tucson Area. I encourage my guests to visit with me, and I get there as often as a busy schedule allows. Great place; great outfit.

My late wife and I have enjoyed many winters hiking the trails of Saguaro National Park, Rincon Mountain District. Visitors are really made welcome and treated to a great variety of programs. We have been supporting FOSNP for many years and this year I made a significent contribution to adopt a trail in my wife's memory. That money will be used to help maintain all those lovely trails in future years. I hope taht I am able to make a similar contribution next year. I believe in FOSNP. The work that FOSNP does is amazing. They do so much with so little, and have assisted both districts of Saguaro National Park, keeping them fully "open for business" in spite of all the recent budget cuts they have had to endure. They are true protectors of one of the most beautiful national parks we have.

Friends of Saguaro National Park is awesome! They do so much to support Saguaro NP, and my husband and I spend every day of our vacation time here, driving the loops, hiking the trails and talking with the rangers and vounteers. We love the park and we love what FOSNP does to help out. That is especially true now, with budgets being cut - FOSNP is more needed than ever!

We are in Saguaro National Park East almost daily since retirement a few years back. I have always been impressed by the way the Park is maintained and improved in spite of funding challenges. We contribute to FOSNP because they continuously demonstrate their invaluable support of the Park.

Saguaro National Park brackets the east and west sides of Tucson and offers many miles of trails, lots of camp sites, interpretive sites and visitor centers to make our desert environment accessible and to teach appreciation, understanding and respect for our surroundings. It's a very important amenity to our city and Southern Arizona in general.

I took my daughter to the park and learned about the plants and animals that live around the desert. Everybody was very kind and helpful and answered all of our questions. I think this is a wonderful non profit organization and I love everything they are trying to do for our environment.

They helped my daughter and I learn a lot about the environment that we are living in. She now knows about the different cactus and knows why she cant touch and get to close to any of them.

I've been a long-time donor for Friends of Saguaro, and I regularly volunteer at the park as well. I think this is a wonderful organization, that does a great deal to help the park. Especially in this time of tight federal budgets, I'm sure that the park would be unable to offer many of their programs if it wasn't for the help they receive from Friends of Saguaro. I've read about the Gila monster research that FOSNP has funded, and I've seen the terrific wildlife photos that have been taken with the remote, motion-triggered trail cameras that FOSNP purchased for the park. I'm happy to support this organization that supports Saguaro National Park!

This is a wonderful way to enjoy the giant saguaros and the blooming desert, in the Tucson area. I enjoy the trails, the gift shop and the helpful and friendly rangers.

Saguaro is a great national park especially for families. Your kids will love the interactive exhibits at the visitor center but more importantly they make it so easy to enjoy the great outdoors and learn more about the history, geography, and plant and animal life that make the park such a treasure. Can't miss!
