Okwhat is this cave of which you speak???? Sounds quite interesting! Here's a link to Tom Kollenborn's story about the "Cave of a Thousand Eyes".

Sorry Stupawx, I'm recovering from knee surgery and don't fit into my truck so good yet. Good luck, that's a nice trip through the Superstitions.

@Jkholdings If you have a vehicle you're half way there already. Do your research here on HAZ and concentrate on the two main trailheads. First Water TH has more of the "easy" trails leading into the Wilderness while Peralta TH has the more strenuous trails involving AEG. Both trailheads are usuall...

@twere If you're looking for a quick overnighter in the Superstitions area try the Hackberry Spring area, it has numerous camping areas with firepits and close to First Water Creek. Pitch the tent then take a scenic hike down the creek and back or hike up to Garden Valley. The area is prone to fair...
