haven't been out in the supes in a long time
this hike was on our list of possibilities
after negotiating a detour on lost dutchman road, we got going around 0715
temps right around 40 to start
did the loop clockwise
second water, boulder canyon, cavalry
instead of circling black top mesa on dutchman trail, we took bull pass to the saddle and then to the summit
one of my favorite spots in the superstitions for great views, especially of weaver's needle
we took a snack break and then john persevered in finding the sun petroglyph on the east side
finished the loop on dutchman trail
temps in upper 60s as we finished
not many people on the trails at all
water in boulder canyon and from recent rains in several other places
nice to be back in the supes with good company
thanks, john - good times
