About Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument
Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument protects about 330,000 acres of Sonoran Desert on the Mexican border, one of the few places in the United States where organ pipe and senita cacti grow wild. Start at the Kris Eggle Visitor Center, then take the 21-mile Ajo Mountain Drive past organ pipe, saguaro, cholla and barrel cacti. You can also hike, camp at Twin Peaks or Alamo Canyon, and watch the night sky. It has been a UNESCO biosphere reserve since 1976.
