The Superstition Mountains

Wear hiking shoes with knee high socks (if you wear shorts). This is where I had a verrrry close encounter with a rattlesnake. And they don’t sound anything like the friendly little rattle you hear on TV.

My 2 oldest sons climbed all the way to the top of Flat Iron, while I waited about halfway up with my youngest son at the time. Thank God for young sons, so I have an excuse to take it easy!

As they returned to where I was waiting, one of the boys asked me, “So what were all those crosses for on the way up?” “People who have died there,” I answered. Boy, they hadn’t realized what a dangerous climb it was until I explained the crosses (and they were heading down).

Of places to go hiking here….wonderful.

Wonderful hiking, wonderful views! Breathtaking!
