Description

Impressionist Painting of Saguaro and flowers in Tonto National Monument.
Tonto National Monument is a National Monument in central Arizona, United States. The Salt River runs through this area, providing a rare, year-round source of water. The National Monument is surrounded by the Tonto National Forest, which includes low plains, desert scrubland, and alpine pine forests. The Upper Sonoran ecosystem is known for its characteristic saguaro cacti. Other common plants include: cholla, prickly pear, hedgehog, and barrel cactus (flowering from April to June); yucca, sotol, and agave; creosote bush and ocotillo; palo verde and mesquite trees; an amazing variety of colorful wild flowers (February to March); and a lush riparian area which supports large Arizona Walnut, Arizona Sycamore, and hackberry trees. It also serves as a home for native animals such as whitetail and mule deer, mountain lion, bobcat, three rattlesnake species and many more.
