A spur of the moment trip to Lost Dutchman State Park, 92 degrees, 3pm, and my son and I headed out there, started hiking just before 4pm. I've hiked here before, usually along the trails that parallel the Superstition Mountains (which means its a more level hike).
Today, I wanted to "touch the mountain", so we headed up Treasure Loop Trail. It's 2.4 miles round trip according to the park's brochure. According to Google, Lost Dutchman Park is at an elevation of 2000 feet. We climbed up to Green Mountain, elev. 2580, which I figure was about a mile from the car... so quite the climb! (Green Mountain is that rock formation just below what they call "praying hands")
Even though its "snake season"
here in Arizona, we didn't see
any today... thankfully! :)
And we made it!
