Things To Do
 
gold poppies and purple lupine in our wilderness
Hike anywhere in the spring and enjoy the wildflowers. Mexican gold poppies and purple lupine welcome you into this lush springtime landscape.
 

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument is literally a land of opportunities. Depending on when you visit and how “hardy” you feel, activities range from the leisurly to the vigorous.

Most visitors come to enjoy the warmth that winter here has to offer. During the months of December, January and February, day-time highs can be in the mid-60s to mid-70s. Night time lows can be chilly, down in the 30s. Not too bad, considering the folks up north are shoveling snow that time of year.
