I love seeing the Superstitions with running water. Went down Dutchman's Trail from First Water Trailhead to where O'Grady Canyon makes a close approach to the trail. Angled over through brushy brush and scrubby scrub to the water course. It was flowing nicely and after a few attempts at keeping my feet dry, I just gave up and walked in the water. Quite a few falls to skirt on this route and I definitely think going up this canyon first was the right choice. Returned via First Water Creek. Running water and lots of big pools in this drainage.
