Some minutes south of the trailhead to dripping springs the desert landscape apears pristine and untouched. Be asured that this impression is only owed to the shallowness of a tourists view; this is a battered and abused land full of conflicts and problems.
See www.tucsonweekly.com/general/pdfs/2009-12-10BorderResourceImpacts.pdf for more impressions. Nevertheless I was very happy to get the chance to visit this part of the ORPI; it was little more than three months before my visit, that the road leading to this trailhead was reopened (hikearizona.com/photoset.php?ID=28141; www.americansouthwest.net/arizona/organ_pipe/puerto_blanco_drive.html). For further details on this trip see pano 15665. Technical stuff: 17 HF raws at 10:55 MEZ with tripod and NPA. DPP, hugin, gimp (slight crop, scaling, Tonwert-Korrektur) and PS (Lichter / Tiefen)

What do you find more often, Subbass 16', Principal 8' or Octave 4'??
However ... these are not Organ Pipe cactus stems you can see here :-))
The Saguaro Cactus stems you can see here are about 100 years old; if they start to branch, they are much older. The have subbass height - 16' at least; subass 32' would be rare - as it is in organs. If they are smaller - w.g. octave 4' - you can find them below bushes (e.g. the Paloverde) - so called nursing trees.
The Organ Pipe Cactus is more branched; its size is more principal 8'; you can see a decend specimen in my picture 15054
