Hike the Superstitions! First Water to Canyon Lake Event Cache

Between 8:30 and 8:50 you can park at N 33 28.283 W111 28.179 and you'll be shuttled to the trail head so we can begin the hike at 9:00am.

It starts at First Water Trailhead going SE on the Dutchman's trail (104). After almost 0.3 mile there is a junction with Second Water Trail(236). In another mile and a half there is a junction with Black Mesa trail (also a great loop). Stay on Second Water trail as it crosses Garden Valley. As you proceed East the trail begins to drop down into Second Water Spring. The trail gets somewhat steep here but still fairly easy.

At the bottom of the Second Water Spring area (Boulder Canyon) the Second Water trail ends and one can go North on the Boulder Canyon Trail (103).

The trail is very clear and quite easy to follow. Once we reached the top you could see Canyon Lake.

Much is down hill and along a side hill and then a final climb to the final top before the descent to the marina. The descent is a bit tricky with lots of loose rock but taking it slowly makes it comfortable. There are a few switchbacks and finally we come out on the Highway 88.

After the hike, we'll BBQ at the nearest ramada, talk about the great hike we just had, rest up and get shuttled back to the parking lot at First Water. My wife we be one of the shuttle drivers and depending on how many come, we might be looking at other people to help shuttle. E-mail me privately if you'd like to help with the shuttle and/or setting up the ramada for our return.

I don't think this is for kids or anyone who thinks they might not make it. Credit will be given only for those who finish the hike.

I'll bring hot dogs and charcoal. Please let me know what you can bring. Put it in a cooler and we'll bring it up to the ramada for our after hike BBQ!
