| the hike |
Let’s enjoy the beautiful Superstition Mountain in the cool weather before Christmas. On this hike, you’ll get to experience some of the most
scenic parts of the mountain and explore several different trails—from Jacob’s Crosscut to Treasure Island, then up to Praying Hands and the
Prospector View. We’ll then return to Jacob’s Crosscut to complete the loop.
Parking and restrooms are available near the trailhead. Some sections of the hike may be rocky and challenging, but the views are absolutely worth it. There is some construction in the park, so parking maybe limited. Gaiters optional. Bring plenty of fluids, snacks and lunch. |
