Organ Pipe National Monument

We also enjoyed going to Organ Pipe 

National Monument with Duane & Sue in January.

Yes, that is the border fence.

Organ Pipe shares 31 miles of international border with Mexico. 

I suggest you sign up for the Ranger led three hour van tour.

They provide so much information and the roads were rough! 

That way you don't have wear and tear on your own vehicle.

 We walked around Quitobaquito Springs for an hour.
That is Mexico on the left. 

Not what you expected in the desert! 

Another view of the border.

 Then we went on a self guided loop tour.

Ajo Mountain Drive is 21 miles winding along 

the Ajo Range foothills. 

Beautiful Sonoran Desert.

 The organ pipe is a large cactus rarely found in the

United States but is common in Mexico.

When you get closer you can see the mutated section in the middle.

Arch Canyon has stunning landscape.

A long day in the car, but it was worth the trip!
