Picacho Peak State Park

As always, a fabulous place. The camp sites are very nice and had plenty of room and included a fire pit and electricity. They apparently are short on water so the drinking fountains could not be used. It is a little difficult walking to the bathroom at nite as you could end up in a campsite instead of following the road. The freeway noise is something you seem to get used to and I do like the sound of the trains. The views are outstanding and there are several great trails with the climb of Picacho Peak being the highlight that I last climbed 10 years ago. There are cables involved and I highly recommend gloves.

Cool place to hike, wasn't busy when we visited. Got some excellent pictures when I went up the mountain (hill?). Anyway, found this place on the way home, got some good exercise in.

Beautiful unique natural area. Park staff friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Nice hikes of varying lengths and difficulties. Great vistas and natural sites.

This mountain is no joke. The Ranger was very helpful in telling which hike took the longest, etc...and which had shade compared to none. We did the shady trail. You definitely need gloves, there are cables to hold onto as the trail gets very steep in certain spots. Saw a Tarantula, Scorpion and Rattlesnake. It was quite the experience.
