My goal for the 2020 Six-Pack is to do each peak via a “new to me” route. For Picacho I decided to take the Sunset Vista Trail. This way is significantly longer than the Hunter approach, but cuts out that the soul-crushing down-climb from the saddle. It also offers a walk through a forest of saguaro that rivals Wasson. The other bonus (or tax, depending on your sense of masochism) is the steepest sustained cable section on the mountain!
