Used the Hieroglyphics Trail to access Hieroglyphics Canyon to access Superstition Peak. Went up canyon just past the spring then climbed to the ridgeline separating Hog & Hieroglyphics Canyons. Ran that ridge east to the the Superstition Ridgeline route, ran that SSE to Superstition Peak. Fairly difficult bushwack after the spring as there is no trail. The Petroglyphs were cool except for the modern additions.

Happened to get a cold rainy, SNOWY day!@! What a blast!! Started at the Carney Springs TH, ended at the Lost Dutchman State Park(exited Siphon Draw). Some nice camping spots near Superstition Peak. Will do a backpack next time to view the city lights at night!! Nothing exceptional as far as difficulty. Route finding not bad, just need to pay closer attention than usual. Not a trail for dogs because of all the agave (sharp tough spines) and two steep climb downs....Loved it!!

Tossed in the extra 4 miles for parking on FS 405--need high clearance to get to actual TH. Waterproofing, LIGHTWEIGHT, and strudy shoes are needed for this trip. Also a minimum of 4 days to really enjoy your travels.

Group hiked to the cliff dwellings and Angel Basin. Camp Angel Basin during the week only as it appears to be overrun by Boy Scouts on the weekend. Weather was perfect 60+ and sunny.
****NOTE TO SELF**** Make this a loop hike next. It's uphill all the way back to the TH otherwise....Not severe but Uphill is still UPHILL... :? Don't know how long it took...never new the time until the end of the day???? 6 hours is an estimate with hangout time included

Long with some cool meandering low areas in the middle of the trail. Break this up next time to spend a little time enjoying the springs.

Left a friend's house and climbed up Mt Elden from the Little Elden Springs Horse camp. Didn't look for the trails although I basically started by crossing Fatmans Loop trail. I went up a ridge that ran East to Northeast. Topped over the false peak and continued to the peak. Was a wonderful day with temps in the mid 70s and lots of buddies waiting back at the house to be idiots for a bachelor party (Sorry Gary). Saw Elk track but none en vivo; couple of hawks though. Fun way to cure a hangover!!

Nice calm easy hike. Lots of big old pine trees. The spring water is little earthy tasting and cold as hell---but Woooo!! This will be a hike I keep in mind for those hot July and August days...ps. Supposed to bring a leash if bringing dog

Camped near the Narrows this weekend. Water was cold but flowing perfectly. The rocky areas around the Narrows are a mess from many plastic bottles, cans and random junk being left. Filled the bottom of my pack with junk, tyed the bag on the pack but still lots of trash left. You've been forewarned. Some friends and I cleaned this area last Spetember but unfortunately it's trashed again which sucks cuz there is a huge trash can at the TH; where people started carrying their junk from in the first place... Anyway--the stars were out sporadically thanks to the effects of some wispy clouds. Saw three shooting stars and a few satelites. Didn't see any large animals just some lizards, ground squirels and a couple of jack rabbits. Filtered water through the PUR Hiker--no ah, troubles there....Did I mention the water is COLD!!!

Enjoy!!

Browns Peak trail was in excellent condition!! No snow or ice in the west chute. The summit log is full. I will take a new one up next time unless I see something posted otherwise. The day before going was windy so the views were spectacular!! Roosevelt Lake is the lowest I've ever seen!! At the TH I saw a 4-door sedan. They drove in from the west on 143--No wash out or water in the two stream crossings. Hope this helps!!

It was sunny and in the low 60's with a light swirling wind. Perrrrfect in my book!!

Hiked from the end of 287A on the road to the 203 TH west end. Hiked past the Tony's cabin turn off another 1 3/4 miles came back. Catch the Tony's cabin turn off at the basin with corral and old hot water heater in the ground as a seat. Piped spring on the way to the cabin--potable water. Tony's cabin is in a cool valley. Cabin in decent shape with old iron stove and some supplies left by other hikers. Some pots, cans, cot, tarps, rope, cooking grill and some foam sleeping pads. Creeks all were dry 10-05-2002. On 203 west end--first saddle a steep climb. Trail drops drastically on the way in which of course means a tiring climb out. Tony's cabin a great spot to camp. Hauted canyon trail along creek bed is covered by a canopy making a beautifully shaded hike, however the saddle is completely exposed and hot on the exit. To get there go through Pinto Mine just after Pinto Creek off US 60. Follow public access road signs to 287 then go over bridge and look for THs

Some beautiful scenery right in the city. Used as a training hike by some HAZ members. Was shown a different route from the 32nd street parking lot. Saw coyotes. Many many up and downs--rough on the knees!!! Note: ZERO shade. Hike this early or in the winter. Water at the park is warm and bad tasting--restrooms there too.

There is virtually no water this time of year (Early September.) Thought with all the recent rain it would be OK. I WAS WRONG!!

That said--what a great hike all things considered. Very scenic, especially if you are more talented than I at hiking while looking up and out at the views. Just up the hill from the turn-off on Reavis trail where you go over the pass and start down to the creek, we jumped 6 deer. Down in Reavis Creek by the second campsite towards the falls, a big owl flew out from cover next to me--startled me enough that I didn't get a good look to identify the exact type.
Back to the water situation; there a few pools with only a few inches of water. I was carrying enough but would have filled if needed. The water looked clean and not to brackish.
I will do this hike again just after winter or in a year when we have a decent monsoon season.

Hiked it under the fullmoon. Went in at or near midnight. Took a few friends from school and had a blast. Maybe back with the next fullmoon?!? Great hike for this type of thing because it is easy (no real elevation change) and there is always water to swim when needed!!!

Took: Katie, Christina, Patrick, Aaron, Lynn, Justin and Sara.

**Remember to invite them next tme too!!**

Had a great two full days down here. Camped just off the rope swing. Bad place to sleep, we saw about six shunks at various times through the night. They weren't to shy. We hung our packs about six feet of the ground and they still came around. One woke me about 12 inches from my head. I'd recommend a tent next time, especially for those of us who hike with our dogs. The water is chilly but amazing!! And remember to time your exit hike correctly or you'll cook. I like to leave just before sundown. At that time of the day, the trail is mostly shaded. Takes about one and a half hours to hike out.

Cool cliff dwellings--not much more.... Must stay on park maintained (paved) trails.

Neat--take the time to talk to the old time ranger. i think he is 93?? He can sing like a morning dove!! Also pop around to the south side and head down to the creek for a refreshing dip...

This is the only NATURAL lake in Arizona!!

Cool cliff dwellings and a nice park. Hike is being liberal as the trail is paved. however one has access to cliff dwellings along the trail. If the archeologists are working, they will gladly take the time to talk to you about the history and geology. Not recommended as a difficult thing--more of a family educational hike.

From the Beeline heading North from the Valley take the road to Gisela---STAY LEFT---until locked gate is reached. Climb over gate, head down road 1/2 mile round bend see sign on left to swim hole. About a mile in there are rocks and good swim hole. If you are feeling ambitious, take a trash bag and grab some of the beer cans people are too lazy too carry back out....

Use trail on west side of river by crossing at camp grounds in a truck. Water only 3 feet deep 05-09-2002 VERY DRY year. Springs themselves seem alittle dirty. Definitely a better place to have a buzz and a girl then just hikin'. Some bohemian wanna-be art work in building. Roger Rabbit and The Simpsons are the best....odds are good to encounter nudity--What's then saying? "When in Rome, do as the Romans do..."
