Picacho Mts., Arizona
The Picacho Mts. include well-known Picacho Peak. However, there
are many other places beyond the iconic peak that get far less visitation
including the entire north side of the range, which continues for a dozen or
so miles on the opposite side of I-10. The Picacho Mts. are also home to
one of the most spectacular Hohokam Petroglyph sites in Arizona,
which I wrote about in my book Ruins Seldom Seen.
