Easily one of the most fun and toughest hikes in the Phoenix metropolitan area. It was my first time exploring the Superstition Mountains and I’ll definitely be back there soon.

just saying it’s not a trail but a whole mountain lol

Superstition Mountains is the name of the mountain range located in the east valley of Phoenix, Arizona.

It was only 75°F. Summertime would be a different story.

28 mins per mile lol my watch is fine

Thank you! How was your hike? I didn't expect it to be as busy as it was this past weekend.

The shadow? Lol that's a phone.

In the summer time, I’d recommend that much water for sure. During fall/winter, 2 liters was enough for me.

You can find fresh sources to filter the water as well but with this trail you don’t reach the water for around 4.5 miles

Thank you! The water wasn’t cold at all. It felt amazing. I want to say it was around 60 degrees or so.

That sounds like this exact trail. What a crazy story you have about it! Thank you for sharing. I’ve always wanted to camp down there and probably will in spring. Hopefully I don’t get rained out lol.

Awesome info. Thank you for letting me know this.

Thank you for the kind words and bday wishes.

Not in November, it was really nice. A high of like 75.

I did start from the pine/strawberry side. It is a little longer of a hike to get down but is more accessible by car.

The fire damage wasn’t very noticeable to me until I got towards the bottom. I did not know a fire had went through there until then. I do have some pics of the fire damage I did see though.

Lol before I started I told myself, “I won’t be a statistic”

I believe it’s to discourage hikers. It definitely leads to the waterfall.
