Organ Pipe Cactus only grows in this area of the United States. This Monument lies south west of Pheonix and is adjacent to the Mexican border. Take the well maintained gravel (easy drive for any passenger automobile) Ajo Mountain Drive to get into the middle of cactus forest and the partake the spectacular views from the drive. Since this monument is directly on the boundary with Mexico, Border Patrol is noticeable and we suggest asking if there are any illegal activities that you should aware.
