I'm planning on going there next weekend and camping a night or two. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on specific spots to see out there? I haven't seen many photos from there and I have wanted to visit for some time. Hoping to catch some wildflowers and maybe some wildlife as well. Also, if anyone is interested in meeting out there let me know.

I think you might be a little late on the wildflowers, unless you are thinking this weekend's storm is going to rejuvenate things. I'd definitely call the ranger station first.

Michael even if the flowers aren't present I know there are plenty of cacti to photograph against the mountains, plus I am hoping to do some night photography down there. So I'll be shooting regardless. I'll probably call them before I head out there.

I do not know if you have seen this:
Organ Pipe NM

Be aware that the TO rez is the main drug trafficking and illegal alien corridor now in AZ. Keep any valuables, coolers and water jugs covered up inside your locked vehicle while out shooting.

Thanks for the link Doug, I won't be in Organ pipe, but I know it is somewhat close. I'm pretty careful regardless where I am.
