Ajo Mountain Drive


Mondays van tour on Ajo Mountain Drive in Organ Pipe was well worth it. The road is 21 miles long, one way, and very bumpy with lots of tight turns and washboard. Not something we really wanted to take our van on when these free tours are available. We only wish that they would allow time to hike, or offer a drop off/pick up service as we really wanted to get up into Estes Canyon.
But the flowers are in bloom and the rain of last week has really greened everything up. They say that is is a little early and many more plants are blooming than last year. The hills are covered in Brittlebush, a yellow daisy like plant, and the weather is spectacular. Nights are now just right in the upper 40's.
