"Good garden park to cruise this time of the year. Average in size. Don’t miss to take picture with the glass huge cactus after the entrance. Senior? You will get discounted entry ticket."

"The wildflower season rebounded a bit, but with unseasonably reasonable weather, great place to see everything. Keep your eyes and feet on the trails. A teddy-bear cholla is not fun to hug.."
