Neben einer Vielzahl anderer Pflanzen sind hier
29 Kakteengattungen beheimatet, darunter der riesige Orgelpfeiffen-Kaktus,
nach dem der Park benannt ist. Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument celebrates the life and landscape of the Sonoran Desert. Organ Pipe Cacti are the stars of the show here. Two scenic loop roads are winding, up-and-down graded dirt roads. Several trails offer close looks at the beauty of the desert.
Because of the different vegetative
zones of the Sonoran Desert the monument exhibits an outstanding variety
of plant life - not only Organ Pipe Cactus but also Saguaro, Ocotillo, Palo
Verde, Prickly Pear, Chain-Fruit Cholla, Ironwood and many more. |
