Trail Overview

Picacho State Park Road is easy to get to and is mainly loose gravel and washes. It is a two-lane at first then turns into a one-lane. The southern part starts wide, then gets narrow with hills and moves into a riverbed wash. For the most part, it is an easy trail with few challenges. It's well worth the trip, even if you don't want to go into the fee area park. There are several offshoots and canyons to explore.
