We arrived at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument at around 10:30am. It was only a 45 minute drive south from the town of Ajo where we had spent the night before. We had purposely planned to arrive as early as possible to give us the most time to enjoy the area while we're paying for a campsite.
Our first stop was the Visitor's Center in order to find out what programs were included with our cost of admission, and to pick up a hiking map.
