Arizona State Parks & Trails: Guided Hike to the Peak on the Hunter Trail

Join a park guide on the Hunter Trail and enjoy 360-degree views from the top of Picacho Peak. This is a challenging hike that involves steep switchbacks, rock scrambles, climbing up several cableways and an elevation change of 1,600 feet. Meet at the Hunter Trailhead on the Barrett Loop. Register at the link below.

  • Total distance is 3.2 miles round-trip and takes 4-5 hours to complete
  • Not recommended for inexperienced hikers
  • No children under the age of 10
  • No dogs

Free with paid park entry. The following items are REQUIRED to attend a guided peak hike. Park staff have the right to turn away unprepared hikers at the trailhead.

  • Water: Bring a minimum of 3 liters on the hunter trail hike, and at least 4 liters on the sunset trail hike. Consider using a water bladder or hydration pack for easy water storage
  • Clothing: Wear close-toed hiking shoes, lightweight clothing and a head covering. Gloves are recommended for the cableways. Guided peak hikes involve very rocky terrain, so tennis shoes and sandals are not appropriate footwear
  • Sunscreen: We recommend at least SPF 30
