picacho peak

This is a bucket list hike!!  Definitely need good hiking shoes and gloves even though we passed a dude who did it in flip flops

Started the hike at 7.30 already sunny and bit hot.. One of difficult and scary hike for me.. took 4 hrs to finish but it’s

Fantastic hike. Glad I started early (7 am) so I could finish before peak heat. Took about 1 hr each direction.

Needed gloves and one hiking stick for descent  

As always, this hike is a CHALLENGE! We started at 8. The temperatures were fine, not very warm, but the shady portions of the trail

Last summit to finish the challenge! Perfect weather this morning. Plenty of climbing. Best to bring gloves for the cables. Beautiful views!
