Winter stuck around as long as possible this year, but a promising sign that spring is near has been cropping up all across Arizona. Picacho Peak is one of the best spots to see wildflowers, with several easy hiking trails lined with vibrant yellow poppies from start to finish.

Picacho Peak features five different trails ranging in length from .2 to 3.1 miles. The shortest hikes are also the easiest, but they still have plenty of redeeming qualities like overlooks and interpretive signs.
