PICS - Superstition Mountain Backpacking Trip - Rocky Boiman | 700WLW

Had an amazing backpacking trip to the Superstition Mountains in Tonto National Forrest about an hour east of Phoenix, Arizona. We covered about 26 miles or so over the course of the four days, sleeping on the trail for two of them. The scenery of the area went above and beyond expectations...it had everything: forrest, desert rock, mountains, canyons, streams with waterfalls, prairie, you name it. Already excited for the next journey. Enjoy the pics!
