We are driving through on Interstate 10 with some minor flexibility in our schedule. Can anyone tell me how long it takes to drive to the park from the interstate?
A:

Only have half a day for Saguaro National Park. Which should be the priority, East or West?
A:
East is definitely smaller. Lots of saguaros, though not as many as the west, but a wider range of other cacti. Very easy to navigate. Lots of short trails.
