Gates Pass is a mountain pass along the crest of the Tucson Mountains. Traveling West Gates Pass Road through the pass is a scenic route to west of Tucson, Arizona, which provides a shortcut through the Tucson Mountains to Saguaro National Park West. Some sections of the well-marked two-lane road are narrow, steep, and can be treacherous. The mountains appear reddish-brown under the sun against the pure blue sky. Although the ground is parched, the desert is alive with Saguaro, the nation's largest cactus, as well as prickly pear, creosote bushes, and various other cacti and succulents. Rather than leaves or branches, the prickly pear cacti grows pads containing numerous tiny spines.

The Saguaro Cactus (Carnegiea Gigantea) is one of the iconic plants of the Sonoran Desert in Southern Arizona and Western Sonora, Mexico. These plants are large cacti that develop branches as they grow and mature. The branches generally bend upward but not always. The fluted trunks and branches of the saguaro are covered with protective spines. In the late spring the plant develops white flowers and red fruit forms in the summer. Saguaros are found only in the Sonoran Desert. To thrive they need water and the correct temperature. At higher elevations, the cold weather and frost can kill the saguaro. The Sonoran Desert experiences monsoon rains during July and August. This is when the saguaro obtains the moisture it needs to survive and thrive. These saguaro were found at Gates Pass in Saguaro National Park near Tucson, Arizona, USA.
