My MiNi hears the sound of organ pipes and wants to take a closer look. Good thing there’s a place in Arizona to do that!
We wil start the day with breakfast at the tasty Seis Restaurant (130 South Avenida del Convento #100) at 8:00 am.
After breakfast we will motor out west to Ajo and down to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. Their visitor center is a great place to learn about the area, the cactus and the park, get your Jr. Ranger badge, and pick up some park souvenirs. There are a number of walking trails (the 1.5 mile nature trail is especially beautiful) to enjoy so bring some comfortable walking shoes if you’re planning on looking around a bit. Bring your National Park’s pass if you have one and don’t forget your NPS passport book to stamp.
There will be a few of us camping overnight if you’re interested in staying the night. Restrooms have running water and a few have solar showers. Hookups for electricity, water, or sewer are not available.
Camping fees are $16.00 per night. Holders of the Senior or Access Pass receive a 50% discount on camping. Advance reservations are not accepted but sites are usually available- even on weekends. Phone number to call, 520-387-6849, on the day of arrival for campground status is recommened.
Come join us for however long you can stay. Breakfast or drive or visit or camping. Your choice!
