Everything about Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument totally explained
Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument is a
U.S. National Monument located in extreme southern
Arizona which shares a border with the
Mexican state of
Sonora. The park is the only place in the
United States where the
Organ Pipe Cactus grows wild. Along with Organ Pipe, many other types of
cacti, as well as other desert flora native to the
Sonoran Desert grow here. The Park is a beautiful preservation of the
American Southwest.
Its position on the Mexican border has led to much criminal activity involving
illegal immigrants and
drug traffic within the park. On August 9, 2002, Ranger Kris Eggle was shot and killed by a suspected
Mexican drug smuggler during a
US Border Patrol operation. The visitor center has been named in his honor.
At the north entrance of the park is the city of
Why, Arizona; the town of
Lukeville, Arizona sits at the park's southern border. Lukeville is a border crossing point to
Sonoita, Sonora, Mexico.
