Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument is directly south of Phoenix and shares a border with Mexico. The closest US city is tiny Why, AZ with a population of 116 people. Although it may not stand out as an incredibly interesting place to visit, this part of the Sonoran Desert is beautiful. The Sonoran Desert may be one of the hottest places on earth but it is also a “green desert.” Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument is covered in lush green cactus and offers the peaceful beauty only a desert can.
It was all over social media and news outlets – there is a super bloom in Death Valley this year. The super bloom is a rare event that happens about every 10 years. This winter, El Niño had given Death Valley enough rain for this spectacular event to take place. I asked my most spontaneous friend if she was interested in discovering just how many flowers there were in Death Valley. A week later we got a first hand experience on just how amazing the super bloom can be.
