I'm soliciting suggestions for an eastern Superstition Range hike this Friday. 1 day, up to 15 miles if on trail.

I prefer a peak, but views are good, too. Apples, nice trail, better road than rough road, dry over riparian, apples? My guess is a Reavis hike, but I don't know. I was off trail on a longer hike yesterday, so while it need not be easy, I would lean away from off trail.

Thanks

No apples at Reavis this year.

Maybe a couple miles too much?

Hit Circlestone or Mound if you need the peak.

@Jim_H
I'd second Kelly's idea...

Easy enough to get to by... ummm, what are you driving now? (Are you Subaru-less?)

Wander out from Miles Ranch Trailhead, great chance to observe large whitetail and perhaps find bear and lion tracks.

Still in the 13 OB.

beware, this is an exceptionally good hike

Thanks for the help. While Todd's hike looks good, I'm concerned about the now shorter days, and the drive time, as well as the fact that I like to stop and look at stuff and so I think the entire day will require longer days, such as I find in spring. I'm convincible, so if you feel differently, speak up. Otherwise, I think I will most likely hike the Bull Basin/ Government Hill loop. Thanks.

Just did that this weekend, with Reavis Ranch Trail as the cherry stem. Beautiful! Fire Line is a bit brushy heading down to Campaign -- that one is definitely better down than up. Saw some of our Americorps brothers and sisters near Reavis Gap, heading back from a long day trail building the Two Bar trail. Love that program. Great suggestion.

did you happen to see any pools in campaign near the fireline intersection (near that little ponderosa grove where the creek goes underground)?

@te_wa
There were pools as of last week about 1 mile down-canyon of the campsite at the junction of Campaign and Fireline, starting about 0.1 mi above where https://hikearizona.com/dexcoder.php?PID=589397 is indicated on the map.

@te_wa
Actively flowing near the connection of Campaign and Reavis Gap, but didn't see the pools near Campaign and Fire Line. Didn't look, though.
