Getting Outdoors
The biggest attraction at Picacho Peak State Park is the mighty peak that most visitors make a point to discover. For this very reason, there are a number of trails that make the peak accessible. Hiking is the most popular outdoor activity at the park, with trails for every skill level. The standard hiking rules apply. Plan your hike in collusion with the weather forecast, dress appropriately for hot days, and carry adequate water for your hike. Keep in mind that trails are closed from sunset to sunrise, so coordinate your hikes in accordance with permissible timings. For a moderate level hike, try the Sunset Vista Trail at a little over three miles in length, each way. The first two miles of the trek is moderate after which it gets tougher as you get closer to the peak, with steep twists and turns, and the requirement of steel cables anchored into the rock where surfaces are bare. It’s a good idea to avoid this trail during very hot weather. For a more strenuous hike recommended for experienced hikers, the Hunter Trail offers some of the best views at the summit. It’s a four-mile round trip hike that goes to the top of the peak. Here too you‘ll need steel cables and gloves to anchor into the rock where the surface is bare. For easier and shorter trails, try the Calloway Trail, covering a mile and a half, round trip, and leads to an overlook. The Nature Trail is half a mile each way, and pretty easy, as is the Children’s Cave Trail with interpretive signs along the way.

We had an amazing trip in Keith and Kris's Gladiator. It was clean, incredibly well stocked with all of the camping essentials, and enabled us to have an epic adventure off the grid and off the beaten path. It was all a great value and we will definitely be renting from them again.
