The Skinny

What: Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, 10 Organ Pipe Drive, Ajo, Arizona, 85321, (520) 387-6849, ext. 7302
How to Get There: From the east or the west, head toward southwestern Arizona on either I-10 or I-8. Take SR 85 south, and you’re there.
Best Kept Secret: Nearby Ajo, Arizona, is an interesting artists’ community. We stayed at Ajo’s Guest House Inn, a charming bed and breakfast.
Avoid: The summer months (the heat is extreme), talking to strangers in the more remote areas of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument (Mom was right), and entering the area without water.
