http://www.publiclandsday.org/http://www.nps.gov/findapark/feefreeparksbystate.htmThis weekend is the 3rd weekend this summer that is fee-free for National Parks. This covers many parks in Arizona, including Saguaro.
So, go on out and have fun! My real subject, though, is that next month is National Public Lands day. The volunteer site is up and running. There is one project listed in Safford and one listed for the BLM office in Tucson, but that office covers a lot of area so make sure it is someplace you can get to. One of the project areas is Indian Kitchen, which is pretty close to Sahuarita. This is a great weekend to schedule a conservation project. The Rincon Institute is a good source to contact about possible projects, as is the Friends of Saguaro.
Don't forget, county lands are also public lands, and Tucson Clean and Beautiful is always looking for groups to help with conservation projects in the county parks. They do need a copule weeks lead time, especially for areas like Cienega Creek that have parking restrictions.
Enjoy the parks, and let's get out there!
