Hike #20 - Hunter Trail, Picacho Peak State Park, AZ
It's hard to miss Picacho Peak as you are driving between Phoenix and Tucson, AZ. This odd shaped peak draws visitors from all over AZ for a variety of reasons including the Civil War Reenactment held in March, also hiking trails and the viewing of desert wildflowers in the Spring. Paul and I have hiked this trail before and decided we were again up for the challenge. The trail is 3 miles RT and very steep in parts with cables, handrails and bridges to assist you. The elevation gain is 1,401 in 1 1/2 miles.
