Sunset Vista Trail

We drove to Picacho Peak State Park in Arizona to hike part of the Sunset View Trail. There were lots of wildflowers! We did not hike up to the saddle or the peak today. Hiked 4 miles round trip with 400 ft of overall gain. Lots of brittlebush in bloom.
Some views along the trail looking at the shorter north end of Picacho Peak.
