Organ Pipe Cactus in its namesake National Monument

Perhaps not as spectacular as the nearby Saguaro National Park, the Organ Pipe Cactus NM is well worth a visit and is practically the only place in the US where you can see these distinctive cacti - and a lot of interesting birds, mammals, insects and reptiles.
