Picacho Peak State Park

No, not Pikachu the pokemon; it’s pi-CAH-cho which means a type of hill in Spanish. The park is between Tucson and Phoenix and has some great views.


The history of the park is that the only battle of the Civil War fought in Arizona was here. A Mormon battalion also came through here in 1846.  So there are a bunch of memorials with signs explaining all this.

Over the weekend the winds were intense. The whole RV rocked back and forth while things rattled in the wind. The good news is that it’s finally spring with several types of yellow flowers blooming.

Views from a few of the smaller hikes.
