Yes, there's a Picacho Peak in New Mexico. It's just outside of Las Cruces. We did have a bit of trouble finding the trailhead - Randy had even more trouble finding it two weeks earlier, so this one was unfinished business. You have to drive through a fairly new neighborhood in order to get there, and there are signs saying there will be even more homes going up in the future. The hike was good, although there was a portion of it that was on an old Jeep road. I think the upper sections of the trail are fairly new - and beautiful. At some point I'd like to do the loop trail, but I was eager to have breakfast after climbing this one. I wrote down the driving directions as we were driving out - so maybe Randy might write a hike description for this.
