About the Event
It's backpacking weather!
There is little snow above Payson because of temperatures in the 50s most days so we are going on a one night backpacking trip in the Superstition Mountains.
MEET at the church by 7:30, Saturday, January 16. We will depart no later than 8am.
CARPOOL is possible by arranging rides with other families. If you carpool, everyone in the car must wear a mask.
WHAT: We will drive about an hour to the First Water Trailhead on the west side of the Supes. It is just past Lost Dutchman State Park. The last two miles are on a moderately rough dirt road, but I saw a Tesla make it, so it is not a minivan killer. We will backpack about 4.5 miles to the junction with the Black Mesa Trail. There is a large flat area there perfect for camping. BUT... there is no water on this…
