Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument is the only place in the United States to see large stands of organ pipe cacti, though their range extends far south into Mexico. In this desert wilderness, you may drive a lonely road, hike a backcountry trail, camp beneath a clear desert sky, marvel at magnificent cacti, or soak in the warmth and beauty of the Southwest. Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument exhibits an extraordinary collection of plants and animals of the Sonoran Desert.

The night sky is a treasure all its own. There is little light pollution in the Monument and it’s a perfect place to set up a telescope. Even a pair of binoculars can reveal the magic of the universe.
