SUPERSTITION WILDERNESS TRAILS EAST


Lush Canyons with sycamore and cottonwood trees; rugged mountains with towering ponderosa pines and alligator junipers; creeks and waterfalls; majestic deserts and wildflowers; prehistoric ruins; prospector camps and remote ranches. All this and more can be found in the National Forest Wilderness right here in our own back yard. Authors and avid hikers Jack Carlson and Elizabeth Stewart include trips to Reavis Ranch, Rogers Canyon, Pine Creek and the Roosevelt Lake area in their newest hiking guide, SUPERSTITION WILDERNESS TRAILS EAST: Hikes, Horse Rides and History.

Here you will find historical details about individual events that took place in the areas of these trails. Their intent is to show how the Superstition Mountains are closely connected to the surrounding communities. The trail descriptions include information about potential hazards for horses and riders, and other details that might be helpful to stockmen. Recognizing the widespread use of technology, Carlson and Stewart have included GPS coordinates for trailheads and points of interest that will make travel in the mountains safer and more precise. “We hope you have many fine trips in the Superstition Wilderness. See you on the trails!” is the message Jack and Elizabeth send out to each of us.
