The Rio Grande River flows from the San Juan Mountains in southern Colorado into New Mexico, Texas, Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico. The Organ Mountains are a rugged mountain range in southern New Mexico on the east side of the Rio Grande Valley. The range is a continuation of the Franklin Mountains to the south and the San Augustin and San Andres Mountains to the north. This view of the Rio Grande Valley and Organ Mountains was photographed from the Scenic Overlook Rest Area west of Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA.

The New Cornelia open-pit copper mine has a rich history in the mining industry of the southwestern United States. The New Cornelia Mine traces its roots back to 1909 when a geologist named John Boddie identified significant copper deposits in the Ajo, Arizona area. The New Cornelia Copper Company was formed in 1916 to develop these deposits, and mining operations began in earnest. Over the ensuing decades, the New Cornelia Mine underwent significant expansion as demand for copper surged, particularly during periods of war and industrial growth. The mine's open-pit operation became one of the largest of its kind in the United States, producing vast quantities of copper ore. By the latter half of the 20th century, the New Cornelia Mine faced challenges including declining ore grades, increasing operating costs, and environmental regulations. In 1983, the mine owners announced the closure of the mine due to these factors, marking the end of an era for one of Arizona's most significant copper producers. While the New Cornelia Mine is no longer operational, its legacy continues to be felt in the area, both in terms of its historical significance and the ongoing efforts to address the environmental legacy of mining activities. This scene of the mine was photographed from the Ajo Scenic Loop near Ajo, Arizona, USA.

The Ajo Mountain Drive offers breathtaking views of the unique Sonoran Desert landscape, featuring a variety of flora and fauna. Two of the standout features of the area are the Organ Pipe Cactus (Stenocereus thurberi) and the Saguaro Cactus (Carnegiea gigantea). The Saguaro stands tall, often reaching heights of 40 feet or more and living up to two centuries. Its characteristic silhouette, adorned with 'arms' reaching towards the sky, serves as a testament to its endurance in harsh desert conditions. In contrast, the Organ Pipe Cactus thrives in clusters, its slender stems resembling a congregation of organ pipes, hence its name. This cactus species flourishes in rocky terrain, its multiple stems serving as water reservoirs to survive extended periods of drought. These two are endemic to the Sonoran Desert and found nowhere else in the world. This scene , which includes Mount Ajo and Tillotson Peak, was photographed from the Ajo Mountain Drive in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument south of Ajo, Arizona, USA.
