Opted for this trail (instead of hunter) to the top of Picacho since my sidekick Muesli came along. The desert was blooming although not as much as some of the pictures posted for Hunter trail. There was a steady wind which increased toward the top, but was welcome. I ran into numerous people advising not to go up with my pup. He had no problems. I carried him on a couple of the steeper cables because he climbs much faster than I and I figured he might get stuck in a precarious spot waiting for me with a 6 foot lead. Views were good from the top although it was hazy and a there was a lot of blowing dust to the west. The hike seemed short after the Mazzie hike on Sunday. No Snow and no logs to climb over :y:
