I'm really wanting to hike the ridgeline, but would definately like some company. Anyone out there from HAZ have a notion to hike it next month? I could go any weekend in February.
Lemme know!

Lost? Hell, I ain't never been lost. But I have been a mite confused for a week or two.

SUPERSTITION RIDGELINE DAY HIKE(S) & (optional) CAMP OUT - Lost Dutchmen State Park
Sat - Sun, Mar 4 – 5
Leader: Steve Desrochers
email: luv2hikeinaz@cox.net
Length: +/- 11 miles
Phone: 480-926-7939
Rating: Strenuous A+ or
Contact leader by Feb 28th to participate, meeting time & location TBD
Easy option - see below
This is our 5th annual trek across the rooftop of the Superstition Mountains, aka “the Ridgeline”. Starting from the Carney Spring trailhead, the climb up to the ridgeline gains approx 3000'. The ridgeline trail then passes the Superstition Mountain Summit and proceeds across numerous ups and downs with beautiful views of the Superstitions and surrounding area. The descent will be another 2,900 feet down Siphon Draw trail ending at the Lost Dutchman State Park (LDSP) camping area. For those inclined, we will return the opposite way on Sunday. Bring plenty of water (at least 4 liters), lunch, and salty snacks. Be sure to bring a headlamp, appropriate clothing, and don’t forget the camera! Because of the Sunday return option, there will be a BBQ and car camping at LDSP on Saturday night. Those that wish to partake on just Saturday’s hike or Sunday’s are welcome (of course, I don’t see why you would not do both).
Folks that do not want to do the hike are, of course, invited to come and camp and/or come and hike on Sunday up Siphon Draw or other easy/moderate trails within LDSP.
