The saguaro are quite a site when seen for the first time. They are about an hour down the hill from me closer to Phoenix.

Have these behind the house, not a sagauro but I thought they looked cool, but we've had a really wet year and the ivy is crawling all over them. The bulbs on top have started to ripen so gonna have some good prickly pears soon.

Prickly Pear cactus. The fruits are very good when they are ripe.
