About the Event
We are going on a one night backpacking trip in the Superstition Mountains leaving from the Dutchman’s Trailhead (aka. First Water Trailhead)
MEET at the church by 7:30, Saturday, March 19. We will depart no later than 8am.
We should be home by about noon on Sunday.
CARPOOL is possible by arranging rides with other families. If you carpool, please pay your driver $10.
WHAT: We will drive about an hour to the 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 perfect for camping. BUT... there is no water on this route. It is unclear…
