Overview
The first .2 mile follows an old service road to a small meadow. There is no trail from there so it's a matter of picking your way through a few open areas filled with cats-claw, then into thicker vegetation and finally larger trees interspersed with doses of Manzanita so it won't be an easy bushwhack by any means. But the views over the Superstitions are fabulous, especially across to Iron Mountain.

    To Rogers Trough Trailhead
    Take US 60 east out of Apache Junction. A couple of miles past Florence Junction turn north onto Queen Valley Road and follow 1.6 miles. Turn right onto FS 357 (Hewlett Station Road) and follow about three miles to FS 172. Turn left onto FS 172 and follow this for 9.1 miles (keep an eye out to your right near the four-mile mark for a thin arch) to FS 172A.

    Turn right onto FS 172A and follow 3.8 miles to the Rogers Trough Trailhead. While an occasional abused sedan negotiates the drive, high clearance is highly recommended. Without 4WD you might be in serious trouble if it rains.

    This scenic drive wrecks havoc on passengers with weak stomachs.
