Lost Dutchman, Superstition Mountains, Apache Junction, AZ
It has finally become somewhat wintery in the Valley of the Sun. In other words, we have sunny skies and temps in the mid-60s. There are so many places to explore around here. We ventured out past Apache Junction to The Lost Dutchman State Park. Great hike. Spectacular views.
What seems a little different to me about desert hikes in general is that the trailhead itself is not that impressive. But round a corner or two, and suddenly you feel as if you are in the middle of nowhere (which you could be) and the payoff can be stunning.
