Situated along the border between Mexico and the United States is a little piece of desert beauty. In addition to the parks namesake cacti, numerous species of desert flora and fauna flourish. The easiest access to the park is by a loop road that offers a good overview of the terrain. An additional loop road and a few other tracks through the park have been closed due to dangers related to illegal immigration. (The park visitor’s center is named after a murdered park ranger.) Despite the limitations set by these woes, the desert scenery is sublime, particularly in the golden hours of the late afternoon.
