Part of the Sonoran Desert the park offers a diverse variety of plant life. Flowers bloom every month of the year with the best during mid to late March. A tremendous variety of cactus means that blooms can be seen from mid-April into September. The cactus flowering season generally runs April through May with the first week in May showing the greatest number of species in bloom. You can also enjoy hiking, backpacking, camping and bike riding in this park. The quietest season is Fall where you can enjoy milder climates with less traffic.
