They kind of look like a one armed saguaro.

I had to look it up because I didn’t know. 😀
They are completely different species in the cactus family.

They are hard to capture from the ground and are around for such a short time. I’d love to get a drone shot from above or beside the blossoms, but they aren’t allowed in our national parks and monuments.

I am happy you enjoyed our journey. Maybe someday we’ll return with a vehicle more appropriate to the terrain. 🙂

The desert landscape was breathtaking and the scenic drives enjoyable even if the roads were rough. We were there in early February, the weather was cool, we had a few snowflakes during our stay. Nearby Ajo was a pleasant surprise in the remote desert. Thanks for taking us back to this wonderful place.

It sure kept our “crowd” away. >grin< At one point, I considered buying a Jeep for just such explorations, but never did.
