Access to Massacre Grounds Trailhead

Post by elizabeth »

Does anyone know the easiest access to Massacre Grounds Trailhead, since they have closed the road in permanently?

you can either park at Jacob's Crosscut TH and hike the roads or there is a trail from Jacob's Crosscut that takes you out to that area but not specifically to the TH.

Like Tough Boots says, the Crosscut TH is as close as you can park. I had parked along the road until I got a notice left on my windshield that prohibits such parking. From Crosscut, you can hike over to the old TH or cut the angle to the pointed Rock. There is no well marked trail to follow.
On every trip into the Superstitions, I find another Gold Mine. Today the mine was filled with Memories. I can not wait for the next trip.
