Picacho Peak, Arizona is a state park we stayed at on our way to Prescott from Tucson, Arizona. It is known for an insane numbers of Mexican Poppies and Desert Lupine. But, we were a couple weeks too early for the blooms. Our site was stunning, private, and spacious. A gem in the desert.

We hiked the Calloway Trail. It was steep, but rewarded us with some very nice views. Even though he was on leash, Jake always enjoys exploring new areas.
Along the hiking trail we came across early blooms of poppy, lupine, and daisy.
A saguaro cactus skeleton. They can grow over 40-60 feet tall and live more than 150-200 years. Some will use the woody ribs to build roofs, fences, and parts of furniture.
For Sandy’s birthday we ate at the finest and only restaurant in the area. The bacon wrapped filet was delicious and we enjoyed mason jars for wine glasses.
Another amazing Arizona desert sunset.
Hmmm, I’m not sure about that look. My guess is Michael is in trouble again, lol 🙂
