Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument is an often overlooked park in the south of Arizona. What makes this place special is the chance to see the organ pipe cactuses. It also boasts some amazing hiking as well.
This hike will take up the mountains, through some incredible scenery, amazing views, desert, and some sheer cliff walls. Basically, you will experience everything Arizona has to offer all in one hike.
If you are looking for a shorter hike just do an out and back along Bull Pature or Estes Canyon. Most people prefer the loop that is recommended here.
Make sure to pack lots of water as this area is pretty remote.
