A hike to remember

Here it is Wednesday and finally I can truthfully say that all my soreness is gone. What a hike...the Superstition Ridge Trail!
It starts and ends with but .75 miles of easy trail through flowering meadows and then hits you with some serious hiking scrambling up and down over mountain tops along immense hoodoos but with vistas unrivaled by any hike done this year.
Our intrepid little group of 5 did well in finishing it in just about 10 hours with no major mishaps other than being tired. Elated to be able to say we have now hiked every mountain top of the western Superstition Mountains.
11 miles in 10 hours with but a few short breaks. The speed of 1.1 miles per hour? As one of group said to Philip before the start: "Are we crawling are walking this trail?"
As a matter of fact we did a good bit of both!

The vistas included Weavers Needle, the 4 peaks region, the Sierra Ancha mountains to the east and the greater PHX area to the west!
Personally the view to the east was my favorite!
A great hike, great company and an accomplishment to be proud of and all of it is there for anyone to enjoy!
