Hiking Picacho Peak Picacho Peak with Kim Beck Picacho Peak State Park is home to Hunter Trail, located at Barrett Loop, about 30 miles north of Tucson, Arizona, west of Interstate 10. The trail stays consistently rugged and rocky from the saddle to the peak. Gloves are recommended. Camping is allowed in the marked campgrounds.
Spring brings a magnificent wildflower display.
Picacho is home to the most significant Civil War battle in Arizona-making it a historical point as well. An annual re-enactment in early March tells that story.
