An epic wildflower bloom is drawing huge crowds to Picacho Peak State Park northwest of Tucson.
A colorful crop of wildflowers is drawing a high volume of visitors to the park 40 miles northwest of Tucson, where people are literally lining up to see the blossoms.
Picacho Peak isn’t the only state park that gets wildflowers, but with its limited space and close proximity to Interstate 10, it tends to fill up quickly. Fellow Tucson photographer Anu Condon said she waited about two weeks in hopes of catching the flowers at their peak. She also made sure to go on a Monday, in hopes of limiting the number of people wandering around in the background of her photos.
Horton hatched 3 years ago at the Reid Park Zoo, where Zelazo works as an animal care supervisor. She ended up adopting the toucan-like bird because he has special needs. As a result, visitors should be prepared to wait for up to an hour to get into the park. Thompson’s advice: go on a weekday and get there early to avoid the big crowds that seem to show up at the gate after about 9 a.m.
