One of my favorite hikes in the valley. The views are amazing and its not too tough. Make sure you bring lots of water in the summer there is really no shade except for the end of the trail. Watch for snakes on the trail we saw one this time. Also its a busy trail so be wary of people, pets, and horses. Watch out for horse apples along the trail as well. Great hike!
Great views peaceful serene. Real sexy. Its a meal worth devouring.
Just under a 6-mile hike but well worth it! Absolutely breathtaking views!!
Worth hiking after it rains for sure. Took about 3 hours to complete. Trail wasn’t difficult, but there where times where it got my blood pumping. I would only recommend this hike on weekdays or early weekends, because the crowds will be there, and it will be difficult getting a decent picture of the falls with all the bodies around.
With the waterfall flowing, it made this hike even more special than when its not. 2 hours 59 minutes at a leisurely pace with time at the cliffs and the waterfall.
Awesome hike! Not overly difficult, about 6 miles round trip. Always motivating when theres a water feature at the end!
Head out on a weekday- we had a typically busy trail to ourselves. We got lucky and the falls were still running. I imagine it dries up. Amazing views the entire time. Definitely a workout, bring lots of water.
LOVE this hike! Super pretty and really easy for a beginner hiker! It was 1.9 miles to a nice flat area. Very much worth it and strongly recommend!
Awsome trail really cool waterfalls at the end if your there at the right time of year. Trail is well marked heavily trafficked but still have your own space, plenty of parking, no restrooms but food and bathrooms are nearby. Bring lots of water!!!! Lots of mean cactus along trail
Great day trail!! Took about 3.5 hours total.
To avoid people we did the take five trail
Nice easy hike, so green right now
After a rain this place was heavenly.
Wow I could Do This Hikes Daily...Magestic & Clean!
Absolutely beautiful! A bit more of a hike than I was expecting, but well worth the views.
Tons of trails
Great hike and were were lucky enough to see the waterfall this year
Great short hike, perfect for bringing family along. Parking is accessable enough for smaller sedans.
Great place to trail run! Beautiful!
Loved it and hope to go back sometime soon.
Superstition mtns have always been sacred to the apaches, the home of their Thunder God and did whatever it took to keep people out of them. The Pima’s who were here before the apaches, recall the story of the ‘Great flood’ that happened in the Superstition mtns. this is the trail that takes you to the area where apaches killed the Peralta mining family as they tried to retreat back to Mexico after trespassing into the sacred mtns mining for gold. Burros laden with gold that were also killed were found with the gold intact years later.
Go in the am, views are amazing and the waterfall is a perfect spot for an end of the trail break. Provided its running.
Very nice hike!
After a good rain you can see the falls!
Such beautiful scenery!
GREAT hike! The elevation change is pretty easy
It was a nice loop..With the added 2 miles we had cause lost trail signs...
An absolutely beautiful hike. The snow was melting off the mountain making this hike so much more worth it, just to be able to see the waterfall. Very peaceful and relaxing.
Be warned, we did this hike today and thoroughly enjoyed it, BUT it took us 4 hours and 15 minutes to hike to the falls and back to the car. My wife and I are in good shape and hike at an average pace, stopping for just a few minutes at a time for drinks of water and photos. If this is more than you want, the first two thirds of the hike gives you fantastic views.
Beautiful trail. There is a lit of cactus and they are very close to the trail, so if you have a pet that likes to wander may not be the best trail to take them on. Parts have steep inclines while other parts have a very slight grade. Overall a great trail to start your morning with and find a spot to enjoy the views.
Great afternoon hike for scenic views of the superstitions!
Amazing hike with a waterfall reward at the end
This December was the first time I went all the way to the falls, well because I didnt know where the falls were. What a great hike!
Large lot. Road isnt the best, but passable by sedan.
Its desert and very picturesque.
I love hiking out here much prefer this over North mountain South mountain Camelback mountain. Not a fan of hiking up a mountain and looking down and seeing buildings. Hiking is to see scenery not structures.
I can only guess the no maintenance approach is to discourage the casual trail user from over using the trails approaching the base of the Superstitions. The unintended result is a slow steady erosion of the land immediately surrounding the parking areas as trucks and SUVS seem to find a creative way to park in previously untouched park land. Time to at least set boundaries and limit parking and end the steady degradation of the land.
Awesome trail,loved it.bring water
Some good trails for mountain biking, but needs a lot more riders to keep the trails from desert overgrowth in many places.
Awesome trailhead with free parking and plenty of it. Road isnt the best but is fine. Trailhead is close enough to a handful of hikes. The main one I used it for though was to go up to massacre grounds falls.
Nice area, great for hiking and biking.
Great views...not crowded
Great easy to moderate hike, go a little further to see the falls...if your lucky theyll be flowing!
Great views of the Superstition Mountains and Four Peaks. Enjoy the peaceful desert and beautiful scenery all around. Lots of deer in this area so keep your eyes open.
This area provides a great variety of view of 4 Peaks and the Superstition Mountains. There are numerous trails, some more difficult than others, but with proper shoes and taking your time this is an enjoyable places for everyone.
This trail, is very peaceful. It is also in a couple places very rocky. I have been up there twice, and would go again. The views are awesome.
Good hike
Good access to the trails
Adequate parking. Easy to get to the trailhead
