Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail (Arizona, California)

5/22/1999 Tumacacori National Historical Park

4/30/2014 Continuing south I got off into Picacho Peak State Park. This is a nice park at the base of, well, Picacho Peak, with Saguaro and other cactus all over. I parked at the end of the park road for a site on the Juan Bautista de Anza NHT [AZ] – Camp 21, at El Aquituni, a known watering spot.
