The second area of the monument that I checked out was North Puerto Blanco Drive out to where the one way road begins (I didn't have the time or inclination to do the entire loop drive this trip; just parts of it). This northern portion affords some fantastic views of the surrounding terrain, including a close proximity look at Pinkley Peak from the picnic area. I lingered to take advantage of the setting sun. Drove back down the road a short ways to hike a bit of the Red Tanks Tinaja Trail. Easy hiking in a beautiful desert setting. This trail connects to the Senita Basin where I had been earlier. It was almost dark when I arrived back at my camp site at Twin Peaks CG. Nice first day at Organ Pipe!
