South of Sedona is correct according to the tripadvisor link cited. I-17 terminates in Phoenix, you cannot go south of Phoenix on I-17.

| Oct 22, 2019 at 18:58 | comment | added | Tim Nevins | @AussieJoe I guess it depends on where you are measuring from; down town, the airport or the outskirts of town. Plus, Saguaro grow well north of Cave Creek. There are many, many scenarios where Saguaro's occur naturally more than 20 miles north of Phoenix. If you want to see a LOT of Saguaros go to Cave Creek, It's only a few miles from I-17. They're very easy to find. They're as dense or more than the top picture. I can give you directions if you like. Saguaros are found over a wide range, but only occur densely in a few places. There are also many other native cactus there. | |

| Oct 22, 2019 at 13:50 | comment | added | Tim Nevins | I looked at the TripAdvisor thread and they said there are no Saguaro in Sedona, which is true. | |
| Oct 22, 2019 at 13:45 | comment | added | Tim Nevins | TripAdvisor is lying! I live in Phoenix and regularly go 20 minutes north and there are countless Saguaros. I have four in my yard!. I think Cave Creek, AZ has more Saguaros than the national park. I've been to both. | |

| Oct 22, 2019 at 0:49 | comment | added | lambshaanxy | Some years ago I drove from north from Phoenix to Flagstaff (on the I-17, IIRC), and there were saguaro cacti on the roadside for the initial stretch. Random Street View (zoom in!): goo.gl/maps/D1MNx2Jis6DsL5Zi7 There was no place to stop though, and they petered out very fast once we got into the hills though. | |
