Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument

Hundreds of plant and animal species call this beautiful refuge home. It's a lovely spot to stroll around with your leashed pet. Cabeza Prieta is the third largest refuge in the lower 48 states, with an area of 860,410 acres. Congress designated almost 90% of the Refuge (or 803,418 acres, an area greater than Rhode Island) as wilderness in the 1990 Arizona Wilderness Act, making it Arizona's largest wilderness region. The refuge shares 56 miles of border with Sonora, Mexico, and is located near Organ Pipe National Monument west of Ajo in southwestern Arizona.

In Maricopa, Copper Sky Park Dog Park welcomes dogs to play off-leash. There is a part for tiny dogs and another for huge dogs in this large dog park.

Every day of the week, from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., the park is open.
