The monument showcases diverse desert flora including 28 species of cacti, and serves as habitat for desert wildlife such as javelinas, coyotes, and desert tortoises. Managed by the National Park Service (NPS), it is recognized as an International Biosphere Reserve. The area features two scenic drives that wind through pristine desert landscapes and ancient mountain ranges.
