Hieroglyphic Trail

This is a 3 mile hike with 578 ft elevation gain. The Hieroglyphic Trail is an excellent hiking route that takes you through Hieroglyphic Canyon in the Superstition Wilderness. During the spring, the trail is adorned with beautiful wildflowers, and it has a gentle uphill grade. As you make your way towards the boulder-filled canyon, you'll encounter year-round pools of water. The trail eventually leads you to the petroglyphs, which are believed to have been created by the Hohokam people who lived in the area about 1,500 years ago. After the hike we will stop at Bomb Bru coffee shop in Gold Canyon, for anyone interested.
