5 of us came up from Tucson Saturday to do my version of the ridgeline hike, via Hieroglyphic Canyon trail. At the petroglyphs, we climbed out of the canyon to the ridge, and took the hiker's route up to Superstition Peak. From there westward on the ridgeline, then down Siphon Draw to Lost Dutchman. I hadn't done this one in 4 years, so I wanted to see if I still could. It was quite warm, so we used up most our water on that long period of exposure up top. We were very happy when we hit the Flatiron and the uphill was over! Springtime beauty is bursting out now, with a nice variety of flowers starting to show. The chuparosa was blazing in the lower canyons. Good stuff!!
