.......................................................
View from the Alamo Campground, looking down the road towards the exit at the sunset.... Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, a U.S. National Monument located in extreme southern Arizona which shares a border with the Mexican state of Sonora.
......................................................
The park is the only location in the United States where Organ Pipe Cactus grows wild. Along with Organ Pipe, many other types of cacti, as well as other desert flora native to the Sonoran Desert region grow here. The Park is a beautiful preservation of the American Southwest. The monument offers the best growing locations for these columnar cactus in the United States. Optimum growing conditions exist no more than a 40-50 mile radius north of the monument. Beyond this distance, conditions are not suitable. The cactus will seldom occur naturally in these areas except in very isolated locations.
