Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument is directly south of Phoenix and shares a border with Mexico. The closest US city is tiny Why, AZ with a population of 116 people. Although it may not stand out as an incredibly interesting place to visit, this part of the Sonoran Desert is beautiful. The Sonoran Desert may be one of the hottest places on earth but it is also a “green desert.” Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument is covered in lush green cactus and offers the peaceful beauty only a desert can.
