- Early 5 1/2 mile hike in the Superstition WildernessNeeds location
This is one of my favorite hikes in the Superstition Wilderness. We will hike through canyons, alongside large bluffs, and through wide-open spaces. The scenery constantly changes.
I have completed this hike many times.
YOU MUST BRING ONE GALLON OF WATER.
THIS IS NOT AN EASY HIKE.
Speed: average
Length: 5 ½ milesElevation gain: 467 feet
We will meet at the First Water Trailhead Horse Lot just east of Lost Dutchman State Park.
Directions: The link below will get you there. Basic directions are to go past Lost Dutchman State Park a mile or so and take a right on First Water Rd. Follow this down a couple of miles, and you will see a large parking lot with bathrooms on the left. The whole lot is surrounded by a fence made of thick brown pipes. If you have gone to the end of the road you have gone too far.
