| the hike |
Not just another hike in the great Superstitions, this “Exploratory Part”
has the excitement of the unknown. Leave trail #241 (Black Mesa) at
“WX2”. Try to follow the wash route c1-c2-c3 thru c8 to point
“B” where we connect with Trail #103 (Boulder Canyon).
However, if we get stopped by a waterfall drop off, scamper up to the
ridgeline which we’ll take to connect with Trail #236 (Second Water)
at “R7” or “TX11”. Come prepared.
