Visitors traveling along I-10 in southern Arizona can't miss the prominent 1,500 foot peak of Picacho Peak State Park. The park and surrounding area are known for its unique geological significance, outstanding and varied desert growth, and historical importance. The unique shape has been used as a landmark by travelers since prehistoric times. One of first written records was in the 1700s by the Anza Expedition as it passed through the area.

We're on our way to Tucson and decided to make a stop here. Very nice state park. The sites here have only electric and it's $30 per night. We booked only 1 night.

We did a short hike this morning before leaving Picacho Peak State Park.

Towards the end of the hike, we saw a snake. It was right in the pathway. I must have stepped right over it because Joe was behind me and he saw it.
