Picacho Peak State Park

Time for the annual Wildflower Trip!  With the rains we’ve had it was a gorgeous display this year!

Picacho Peak beacame part of the State Park System in 1968.  It is part of a volcanic flow that has been partially eroded away. It has long been known for its spring display of wildflowers. If rains come at the right times in the winter, the spring will bring an explosion of gold to the bajadas of the mountain that appear as a tapestry of color. The wildflowers are predominantly Mexican Gold Poppies.
