Organ Pipe National Monument

Over the last 2 days we have been at Organ Pipe National Monument.  The feature picture is an organ pipe cactus.  The park is located just 5 miles from the Mexican boarder.  The campground is very nice but no hookups.  That is fine for us, we are self contained and have solar panels to keep our batteries charged.  

Yesterday we hiked the Victorian Mine Trail a 4.9 mile hike through the Sonoran Desert with an abandoned silver mine at the 2.5 miles in.

Our highlight of wildlife, a javelina walked through our campsite and our trail camera captured it!  We heard it and thought it was a person….

Today we drove the Ajo Mountain Road, a 21 mile road that takes you to the far reaches of the national monument with sweeping views of the area as well as some beautiful rock formations and mountains.  

We leave this area tomorrow heading to the west central area of Arizona.
