Memorial Day Travel - Part 9, Numerous Cacti in Arizona

      On May 26, we headed toward Phoenix after exploring Sedona. While we were driving through I-17, we saw numerous tree-like cacti everywhere! After searching about these on Internet, I leaned that these cacti are saguaro, Carnegiea gigantea, which can be grown to be 70ft (20ml) tall. The saguaro blossom is the State Wildflower of Arizona. I had never seen such a number of wild cacti at one time. During this our travel, I was amazed at how magnificent Arizona scenery were so many times, such as Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and Grand Canyon. However, this scenery was also one of unforgettably impressive views of Arizona for me.

     While we were driving through I-10, we saw the beautiful sunset.


     When I saw this wind farm in Palm Springs, I noticed that we came back Southern California.
