The prominent landmark, Picacho Peak, rises majestically to a height of 1,500 feet above the desert floor, and is a magnet to hikers. The less adventurous stroll along a trail at its base and marvel at the vibrant spectacle of blooming wildflowers which Mother Nature provides every spring. Camping and picnicking are the preferred pastimes here. The park is about 35 miles northwest of
Tucson off Interstate 10.
