Organ Pipe Cactus Travel Information
Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument celebrates the life and landscape
of the Sonoran Desert. The Monument exhibits an extraordinary
collection of plants of the Sonoran Desert, including the organ pipe
cactus, a large cactus rarely found in the United States. There are
also many creatures that have been able to adapt themselves to extreme
temperatures, intense sunlight and little rainfall. Here, in this
desert wilderness of plants and animals and dramatic mountains and
plains scenery, you can drive a lonely road, hike a backcountry trail,
camp beneath a clear desert sky, or just soak in the warmth and beauty
of the Southwest. The park is not heavily visited so you'll be likely
to experience a fair amount of solitude here. Organ Pipe Cactus
National Monument is located in Southwest Arizona, south of Ajo, on
the Mexican border. It is about 150 miles south of Phoenix and 130
miles west of Tucson. View Area Map.
