The following is from my Arizona Backcountry Adventures book.

"In recent years the permit system has been streamlined, so that one permit 
now covers access into the Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range, the Cabeza 
Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, and Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. 
It is essential that you obtain a permit before you go.  The permit allows 
you to cross Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument on the Bates Well Road only.

Permits may be obtained from the following places.

Luke Air Force Base

Hope this helps.

I hope that we can put together a good sized assault force for this 
cache.  We have been wanting to make a trip out there for quite some 
time.  The more we have the better it should be.
