About Picacho Peak State Park

A rocky spire rises to 3,374 feet within the park's boundaries and can be seen from downtown Tucson, some 45 miles away. Once thought to be the remains of a volcanic neck, geologists now consider it a tilted, eroded block of rock capped by a lava flow. The formation sits near Interstate 10, between Casa Grande and Tucson.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
