Picacho Peak State Park

The park staff are probably some of the nicest people you will meet. They really set the tone do your journey ahead The park is beautiful and amazing. The trails are well manicured. This visit was my first visit to the summit of Picacho Peak. Getting to the saddle is awesome. Beyond the saddle be ready for cables and roc climbing. Serious uphill climbing Which means serious down hill climbing back down. I’m over 60. I took my time. Rested along the way and it took me about 6 hours round trip. Some can do it in 3 hours. But meander take your time and enjoy the views.

My Family and I absolutley love this state park. Always so clean and welcoming. The views are spectacular. $10 per adult is very reasonable and you can tell they put that money to great use. We will be grilling up some food on our next visit! Thanks Rangers for all you do here. Top notch job Ladies and Gents!

Really cool spot! We stopped on our way to Tucson from Phoenix. We were able to squeeze in a short hike to the childrens cave it wasnt too challenging as it was only .2 miles, but the inclines could be challenging for some! Very quiet on a Friday afternoon, cute visitor center with affordable items. The ranger on duty was very friendly and chatty. Overall a very nice place!

Hunter trail was difficult as labeled! Amazing views and trail! Bring gloves and lots of water and snacks. Hiking shoes are a must! I had both knees replaced in the last calendar year and this really pushed the limits. Well labeled but serious challenges.

We had ramada's and they were well worth the money because at the end of our group hike we had sandwiches delivered to that location and when we were done with our group hike we all ate like kings. The hike was very hard but I was out of shape. It was worth the work to get up to at least the saddle. If I had had more time I think I could have kept going to the top but I would need probably half a day considering I don't hike much.
