Night Hikes at Picacho Peak

Picacho Peak State Park

May 9 | July 18 Varies by Date

A family at a campground surrounded by desert vegetation and cactuses with a mountainous peak in the distance.

Join us for a magical night hiking experience at Picacho Peak. As we explore the trail after dark, we'll discuss the important role that the night plays in our lives as well as our desert home. We'll also keep our eyes peeled for nighttime wildlife! This two mile hike along the sunset trail is hilly with some rocky and uneven terrain.

We recommend that attendees bring at least a liter of water, a headlamp, a warm layer and appropriate shoes for hiking.

Meet at the Sunset Vista Trailhead for the 1 ½ hour hike.
