Superstition Wilderness Trip

Post by michiganchris »

Hello all!

I am visiting AZ for the first time and would like to go on a multi-day trip in the Superstition Wilderness. However, since I am unfamiliar with the area and on my own here, I am not too comfortable with going on my own into the area and transportation is an issue because I am not keen on paying for a rental car to sit around for days while I am hiking. I thought I was going to go it on my own but after doing some more reading and research online I have become kinda nervous about it :scared:

If anyone is planning a trip for 2-4 days in the next week and is interested in having an extra companion please let me know. My schedule is very flexible. I am staying with family in Tempe and can get transportation to Apache Junction or another location closer to the Superstition Area.

A bit about me: My name is Chris. I am 26 and in good shape for hiking. I hail from Traverse City, MI. I have all necessary gear including pack, tent, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, cooking equipment, headlamp, water treatment tabs...in short, I am well prepared for a trip and will not be overly dependent or mooching on you for supplies or gear. Other interests include environmental issues and playing music.

Please respond if you are interested or have any suggestions for me! Thanks!

Ok, so I've got transportation figured out through a family member, so I'm just going to go for it. Any recommendations for a 3-day hike this Thursday thru Sunday that would be good for a first-timer in the area? Anyone out there interested in joining?

What kind of daily mileage are you seeking?
Almost anything except the western 20% on this map is great backpacking all week. Stay 3 miles away from the trailheads and Reavis on the weekends if you seek solitude.
