Great Cacti Gardern and great tile up on the monument. It's worth the hike to get to.. or better yet take the trolly up and walk back into town. HOT IN THE SUN though, bring water and this was a cool day. More

I highly recommend you walk or bike up to the Wrigley Memorial, it's more rewarding when you get there. It's uphill all the way there, so it's a nice downhill walk all the way back after you've exhausted yourself.

The plants displayed are very unique and information on them is quite detailed. The memorial is colorful with the tilework and local rock on the walkways. A good place to get away from town for a while. More

Didn't walk through the gardens because of the swarms of bees but did walk up to the memorial which was a great place to take pictures and view the gardens from above. Went on the hike from the gardens which was only mildly challenging and did not take too long. The walk to the memorial is doable but is at... More
