    Views were outstanding with the yellow aspens and cottonwood mixed in. A couple of rocky steep sections but worth it for the views

    Going to the summit of Picacho Peak is a moderate hike. 600’ per mile. Some might find it steep depending on your conditioning but it is only 2 miles each way. Views are quite nice in the upper third.
