This was a pretty cool place for a hike right? The really tall "typical looking" catci are called saguaro, the one with the yellow "flowers" on top is a barrel, and the one with all the "leaf" looking things. They were cooler than I expected them to be- so if you get the chance- go check em' out or visit this page!

Fun Cactus Facts:
Saguaros take about 75-100 years to grow an arm!
Saguaros actually have a wood like material inside!
The outer skin of the cactus expands and contracts like an accordion and it can hold about a ton of water inside that layer!
