About Picacho Peak State Park
Picacho Peak State Park features hiking trails that wind up its distinctive 1,500-foot peak, where three hikers on the rocky mountain slope overlook a vast desert valley with distant peaks. The park's visitor center includes exhibits, a gift shop, and public restrooms inside a LEED Gold Certified building. Trails range from the Calloway overlook route to the Sunset Vista Trail leading to the peak's summit. Spring often brings a sea of wildflowers, predominantly Mexican Gold Poppies, across the bajadas. The park operates a campground and picnic areas for extended stays. Programs include guided hikes suitable for ages five and up, Civil War reenactments commemorating the 1862 Battle of Picacho Pass, and ranger-led scorpion hunts. Located near Picacho along Interstate 10 in southern Arizona, the park charges admission with prices published online. Active duty military receive 50 percent off day-use entrance, and veterans with VA-certified 100 percent service-connected disability enter free, according to azstateparks.com.
