I took this geocoin to the highest point in Picacho Peak State Park in Arizona - a very prominent and spectacular landmark between Phoenix and Tucson. The peak rises about 1,400 feet above the trailhead, but climbing to the top requires 1,650 feet of elevation gain, because midway through the hike you have to climb down 250 feet. And watch your step - the terrain here is precipitous, to say the least. A challenging but very rewarding hike.
