    Picacho Peak State Park - Picacho Peak - very pretty but cold

    Picacho Peak State Park

    I've been a long time hiker and just absolutely love it! This is an AZ state park that I haven't…read morevisited until today! I saw a guided hike for the Sunset Vista Trail and signed up for it. This trail will take you up to the Picacho Peak, which is pretty cool! There hasn't been a peak that I've hiked to in my life that wasn't awesome! Do know that this hike is not recommended for beginners. $10 fee for day use and the visitor center out front has lots of items for purchase like books, T shirts, postcards, etc. Bathrooms also available. Sunset trailhead is the last stop on the map the ranger gives you. Ample parking and bathrooms available. We met our hike leader Charles at 10am and started on this hike. And while this hike isnt that long, about 3 miles one way, do know that the last mile of the hike is a lot of climbing up with many railings to help you up. If you're afraid of heights or not comfortable with climbing, I don't recommend this hike. Bring gloves, super helpful! Also, once you get to the top, it is more windy and cold (bring a jacket)! We took a lot longer hiking as a group vs me doing this solo but that was ok. I learned a lot about the history of this park and that there was a Civil War battle out here and all the different kinds of plants out here. Overall, a lovely day to be outdoors and I really enjoyed this hike, it was like a mini baby Angel's Landing in Zion! Definitely come and hike a few of their trails, its so pretty with all the saguaros and chollas! I loved it!

    This park is beautiful and well maintained. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We entered…read moreclose to closing and were given recommendations of shorter trails we could go on to make it in time before the trails close. We ended up staying to watch the sunset and it was beautiful. We will be back to hike up Picacho peak at some point.

    An amazing hike! Start early, bring gloves, lunch/snacks, and water!…read more My friends and I hiked to the peak via the Sunset trail, taking the loop back down the Hunter trail (7.1 mi). The first part of the hike is very easy, just out in the open. Though, once you start climbing you are climbing! The gardening gloves we brought helped us feel more secure, so that we didn't lose our grip. Honestly, the pictures made it look more scary than doing it, but if you are afraid of heights do take caution. The cables felt very secure and I felt safe the whole time. The top is very rewarding! There are a lot of bees though, so I wouldn't recommend hanging out there too long. We ended up having our lunch at on of the campsite benches in the shade at the end of the Hunter trail, which was very nice. The last part of the hike is walking on the road, but we didn't mind it after the steep and rocky decline. The bathrooms in the park are incredibly nice for a state park and there were also water bottle fillers. This was a great hike and the Park is also very well-maintained!

    I checked out Picacho Peak State Park, not to be confused with Pikachu, on a Saturday afternoon…read more Located between Phoenix and Tuscon, Picacho was a hike unlike any I've done before. After arriving, you have to pay a $10 entrance fee per person to hike (a bit annoying for a state park but o well). You're given a pamphlet about the park and then it's time for what you came for. We did Hunter's Trail and there was a good amount of parking close to the start of the trail. It's a difficult trail on Alltrails and for good reason. There are parts of the hike where it's so narrow that only one person can go through at the time. There are other parts of the hike where there are steep inclines. And not only that. You'll have to climb using the cables that have been attached to the rock formations. Pro tip: bring gloves. That also means you have to be careful on the way down as you're going down on a decline. Which will be hard on your knees. It's all worth it though, because once you climb the mountain, you'll have breathtaking views of the park. And you'll be so high up that you can see both Tucson and Phoenix in the distance. All in all, if you go at a decent pace, the hike will take you 3-4 hours. There's at least one other trail. And you can also camp in the state park. Last but not least, there's a little museum in the visitor's center. And plenty of facilities. You'll get quite the workout!
