This short story tells the tale of the author's 1995 visit to Saguaro National Park in Arizona. The mysterious and vaguely humanlike saguaro cactus is one of the iconic symbols of the American West. They thrive in this protected corner of the Sonoran Desert but there are also many other memorable plants to see there. The visit took place in the same year as the first Ameritrek, the subject of the main book, Discovering America the Beautiful. In this booklet, you can travel vicariously to a quietly beautiful place and sample the writing in the full book at the same time.
The main book resulted from an 8,000-mile, weeks-long road trip. Along the way the author visited parks, battlefields, and highpoints, plus much more while driving through 23 states.
Over the years Joseph Whelan drove more than 100,000 miles and spent over a year on the road. He went to 45 highpoints and many other strange and wonderful places. He continues to travel and write. Buy this sample booklet and join the adventure today!
