Well I did bits and pieces of your suggested route but that was after I had gone to the top parking lot, studied the posted map, read HAZ description and realized I had gone too far. It was lucky that I could even find a parking spot at 3:30.
So once I realized the error of my way, I studied the posted map once again and started out but had to turn around fairly quickly as I realized I had left my other camera battery in the vehicle and that was after already turning around before to make sure my vehicle was locked. Sheesh. :bdh:
It is noisy down by the ramadas but once you get to the first saddle of Trail 304, the noise dissapates. There were a few more people on the trail than I care to encounter but we are in the city after all. I had hiked this other side (north end) several times when I was trying to find Peak 2429 several years ago. I wanted to get my bearings before I did a full loop of that whole area which I fully intend to do. The sky was beautiful so I got lots of great pictures, too many.
Anyway, there are lots of trails scattered everywhere so you can goof around in this area quite a bit. I essentially did 304 to 1A, 1A for a couple ridges and then back the way I came with a little loop around to the 302. Very, very easy but scenic. I think I would like to do the 304 to the 1A the whole way. That looks like a great little hike.
But next weekend, hopefully it's back out to the Superstitions. :)

For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination.
Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled.
