Description
On the outskirts of Tucson, Arizona (USA), a small but vital part of the Sonoran Desert is preserved as the Saguaro National Park (East-Rincon Mountain District) It's one of 3 national parks in Arizona. It is revered for its saguaros and cactus forests, geologic splendor and far-horizon views.
Javelina Rocks Site is a Saguaro National Park gem. Low but shapely rock formations dominate the area, often described as layer-cake formations. This area is named after its favorite inhabitant, the javelina. Other small animals also find these rocks ideal for shelter and shade.
I am fascinated by rock formations, so I like to take time for a close-up look at some of the rocks and their variety of shapes, textures and colors in the stone. Just like these two saguaro cacti, I was "Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place," to get this shot.

Great capture of this classic Tucson scene! LF
Janet Marie replied:
Iβm not sure how classic this is as, not a lot of people take the time to walk down to this area and noticed the view. I like to go to spots where there are not so much people around. Thank you for your wonderful words expressed about this. Iβm glad that you like it and have chosen it as one of your favorites too. Janet π
