Organ Pipe Cactus trail maps

If you want one map to cover all of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument with greater detail than the free maps here, check out the weatherproof National Geographic Trails Illustrated map, which includes all the backcountry roads, trails, and topography. This is especially useful if you’re going to do anything more than driving or very short walks; after all, the Sonoran Desert is incredibly dry, hot, and unforgiving.

Here is an Organ Pipe Cactus trail locator map that shows the location of each of the four trail maps listed below (labeled with numbers five through eight), so you can find them on the full park map.

This is a Victoria Mine trail map, showing the 4.5-mile trail (round trip) to the historic Victoria Mine, departing from the Twin Peaks Campground. The mine itself is closed for safety.

The Alamo Canyon trail map shows the easy route from the Alamo Campground to the historic ranching site, featuring a ranch house, corral, and well. This is a great trail if you’re a birder.

Here’s an Arch Canyon trail map, focusing on the trail to the (you guessed it!) arch. It’s located off the one-way Ajo Mountain Drive and has some nice overlooks. You can hike up to the arch or view it from below.

The Estes Canyon/Bull Pasture trail map shows the two routes accessed from the same trailhead – they can be combined into a single loop hike as well. This is another great spot for viewing birds.
