Day 1 : Rogers Trough TH to RR trail, packed in about a mile, stashed the packs and went over to the ruins 3 miles down the Rogers Trail. Awesome set of ruins. Trail was heavily covered in catsclaw in spots. We encountered some people in short sleeve shirts and shorts who were bloodied up pretty good. (We wore long sleeve shirts and pants). Had lunch by the ruins then traced back to our packs and the Reavis Trail over to the Ranch. Saw 3 other groups camping at the ranch but were easily able to find a nice campsite away from everyone else. We figured we logged about 11 miles that day. Water was plentiful. Wood for a campfire required a little searching as much of the area has been picked clean, but it is around.

Day 2: Day hike to Circlestone, back to camp, then explored North of the Ranch including treks up the Reavis Gap trail and North on the Reavis trail.

Day 3: Hike Out back to Rogers Trough.

FYI: Road to Rogers trough is quite rough and eroded in spots, but manageable with high clearance 4x4 truck.

Mid 80's for temps in the afternoon quickly down to what felt like upper 30's to mid 40's at night.

This was my first overnight trek into the Superstition Wilderness. We (my wife & I) will be back for more!
