Current Water Conditions in Superstitions

Post by Brittany »

Alright all, this may be the stupid question of the century, so please forgive me. I am returning to AZ 15 months after moving away to backpack the sups. Based on what I have seen in some of the posts and the weather this season I am assuming there is plenty of water running out there in the western sups. However, you can never be too sure on water supply. Can someone confirm for me which washes they have seen running in recent weeks?

Thanks much!

What he said. I crossed at least 7 creeks on Second Water Trail yesterday, most of them gushing

I was there the last two weeks and I would anticipate that it would last for at least the next 3 or 4 weeks. Even at the 80 degree temps we've been getting.
