We
left Joshua Tree NP and continued driving east to Mesa, AZ, where we
stayed the night. The next day, we turned south and visited Casa Grande
Ruins National Monument. 
We watched the video there, then walked around
the museum and the ruins. It's a nice little park, and it only took us
about 2 hours to see almost all of it.
After Casa Grande, we continued south to Saguaro National Park, noted for its numerous saguaro cacti. The "g" in Saguaro is silent. Saguaro is split into two districts on either side of Tucson, AZ. We visited the western section. It had a nice visitors center, with a decent slide show, but wasn't compelling enough to visit both sections.
It took about two hours to finish the Junior Ranger program there. We could have spend a little longer doing some hikes, but a light rain was falling.
