    Strenuous and some parts a little scary if your not fond of heights. Some of the areas with cables don’t have much room to plant your feet while climbing straight up so you have to be very careful. I almost turned around so close to the end but glad I finished it.

    The most difficult hike we have encountered. But magnificent panoramic views as your reward. Read the reviews, take ALL the advice about how to prepare.

    Strenuous hike to the top of Picacho Peak. Steep trail with nearly vertical ascents in a couple places. Take plenty of water and a high energy snack to eat at the top. The panoramic view from the top is stunning.
