Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument

  Organ Pipe Cactus NM, located in the Sonoran Desert, gets about nine inches of rainfall in a year which makes it a green desert and home to a large variety of plants and animals. In 1976 it was named an International Biosphere Reserve by Unesco to protect its unique environment.  31 species of cacti grow in the monument including its namesake, the organ pipe, which isn’t a particularly rare cactus but one that doesn’t grow in large stands in the US due to a need for hot temperatures.

   The main road in the park goes south from the entrance for about 20 miles until it hits the border with Mexico. There are two pull-offs with interpretive signs. The signs can not be read without exiting your vehicle. The visitor center which has a small exhibit area, a video, and ranger programs; and the campground are about 18 miles from the entrance. The main activities are hiking and scenic drives.

  The visitor center and a short trail located behind it are accessible. The other trails are not accessible. The campground has four accessible sites with large concrete parking pads that extend under the table and grill. The sites are surrounded by desert vegetation so even though they are close together there’s still a degree of privacy.

   The scenic roads are unpaved. The 21 mile Ajo Mountain Road is not recommended for RVs over 24’. The other four roads are rough and high clearance or four-wheel drive is recommended. We did not go on any of them.  Monument  31.95449, -112.80131
