Picacho Peak via Hunter Trail in Picacho Peak State Park

The Hunter Trail to Picacho Peak offers a challenging yet rewarding hiking experience.

Upon reaching the summit, panoramic views of the Sonoran Desert, including expansive saguaro forests and distant mountain ranges, await. The trail is well-maintained, but hikers should be prepared for strenuous terrain and bring appropriate gear. #Hiking #Desert #Mountain #Nature
