12 Saguaro National Park, Arizona
Visit this park that straddles Tucson between the months of November and February and you will enjoy temperatures between 69 and 74 degrees Fahrenheit. This particular park has an interesting origin as it was founded to help preserve the Giant Saguaro cacti–the large cacti most famously known as the cacti upon which the animated Wile E. Coyote sometimes falls. It is an exceptional winter destination for both birdwatchers and hikers. Highlights here include the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, the historic petroglyphs at Signal Rock, and the Brown Mountain Trail.
