| partners | | Arturas and Jelena were dog-sitting for a mini bichon frise named Popcorn, and we decided to take the little rat out for a nice walk in the Superstitions.
The parking lot was full at 0940, so we parked in a space about 0.2 miles away from the trailhead. It was about 60° when we started, and quickly went up to the high 70s / low 80s. There were 2 bighorn sheep up in the mountains that were visible from the trailhead. First sheep we've seen in the Supes.
This was our second time doing this loop, and it did not disappoint. The desert was remarkably green and beautiful from all the recent rain, with wildflowers everywhere. Popcorn was able to keep up for the first 2-3 miles, but the little princess preferred to be carried for most of the rest of the way. We passed Miner's Needle and all the other cool rock formations. We decided not to take the detour over to the view of Weaver's Needle, with Popcorn being the deciding vote.The final 2 miles were uneventful except for some occasional slips on the loose rocks. We headed straight to Hundred Mile Brewery for a perfect end to the adventure.
Overall a beautiful day with great views and good times. Although the lot was full, we saw only 5 other people (and one dog) total on this loop. We did't get many opportunities for hikes in 2025, but this was a good one to end the year. |
