One of the easiest ways to learn about this desert wilderness is the VIEWS project. It is a national effort to make national parks and the resources in them available to teachers and classes all over the world. Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument is featured in both the Sonoran Desert unit and the Wilderness unit. Check it out and use it with your class.
