Today’s post isn’t about a trail I’ve already hiked, but about a trail I’m hoping to hike this weekend! If you’re familiar with these mountains…
…then you might have an inkling of the trail – that begins with the letter T – I’m planning on hiking. Give up? It’s the Treasure Trail at the Lost Dutchman State Park! 😀
Treasure trail is supposed to be about a 2.4 mile hike, and the trail description says it’s a moderate trail. It also says that the elevation will change by about 500′ while I’m hiking, and that it can be completed in about 1 and 1/2 hours. Apparently, Treasure Trail will take me right up to a rock formation called “Praying Hands”, but not to “Weaver’s Needle”. I’m thinking that will have to be another hike…

I’ve been wanting to hike the Lost Dutchman State Park, because the Superstition Mountains fascinate me. I live pretty close to them, and the feelings I get when I look at them change from day to day. Sometimes they look foreboding…
…and other times they look like something from an old Star Trek T.V. episode! Either way they look on Saturday, I’m hoping it’ll be an interesting hike!
Happy trails to you (I just couldn’t resist)! 😉
Along the way with Julia
