    Hiking

    Picket Post Mountain is located near the town of Superior. The name comes from a former military post that was located at the foot of the mountain. At the top of the mountain there is said to be a mailbox with a logbook of the mountain. At the bottom is the trailhead to the Arizona Trail as well as a trail register and toilets.
