This was beautiful hike. Very gradual incline at first, then elevation kicked in a bit toward the end. We hiked just to the Falls (no water there, just a puddle!). Nice hike!!

This was a wonderful hike! We started out early in the morning and we were fortunate that it was still cool so late in May. We had about 4 liters of water between the two of us and we needed it. This is hike offers some really wonderful geological formations and great views--we could see Humphrey's Peak from here, too!!

A very beautiful and easy hike. Perfect for visitors who don't hike. We stopped to eat lunch and soaked our feet in the icy waters of the creek.

Good hike; had lunch in a very cool spot that offered a trickling waterfall.

My fourth hike out of the canyon. The weather was balmy for this time of year...hiked the bottom half of the trail in shorts!

Hiked a couple of miles of this one while staying at Phantom Ranch. Very easy ascent to the top of the trail with views that literally made us suck in our breath! Tears to the eyes, too. A lovely hike looking down into the canyon.

My fourth trek into the wonderful, amazing canyon with a group of hiking buddies...I think there were 14 of us this year!! Words cannot describe...just go do it!! This year the trail was very muddy and the muck sticking to our boots and crampons made for slow and difficult hiking. Still had a great time!!

This was a great hike. I read one review that described it as two Squaw Peaks--maybe even three! It is steep. It was tough getting to the parking lot of the trail head because the road was quite rugged in places. You definitely need a high clearance vehicle. The trail is well maintained. The last mile is well-marked by cairns.

The surrounding landscape is dense with saguaro, cholla, palo verde and ocotillo. The trail is littered with quartz and mica. The mica glints and winks in the sun all along the the last two miles of trail.

The payoff is the summit which is a cap of white quartz on top of the mountain. The quartz is brilliant and cool and reminded me of a cathedral. You can see for miles and miles.

The temp was mid 60-70s, cloudy on the ascent, sunny on descent. It was very windy. I brought 2 liters of water and used every drop.

The Superstitions are always beautiful to be in and around. The hike is easy, not much of a challenge. The falls were just weeping when we were there. It would be a cool spot in the summer, however. I don't know if I would do it again unless I knew there would be more runoff. We could see the tip of Weaver's Needle, which was interesting from that view point.

This was a beautiful hike. Coming from Phoenix, we could feel the elevation and had to pace ourselves as we went higher.

Since it was October, we benefited from the tail-end of the golden show of leaves from the amazing aspen. There was snow on the last mile of the trail, which was nice.

The best part were the spectacular views at the end of the trail. I would like to return earlier in the Fall for the full show of aspen leaves.

This is one of my favorite trails in the Phoenix area. I have done this one several times in the past two years.

The hike itself offers really gorgeous 360 degree views of the canyon walls and the valley/mountains behind. The trail is rocky and has a few boulders. There are two nice shady places on the trail for resting and cooling off.

The ultimate is reaching the saddle and seeing Weaver's Needle. It is breathtaking. This is really a great hike to take a visitor (must be in shape). Be sure to bring a lunch and plan to stay a while on the saddle. It is so beautiful you won't want to leave.
