Hike Description: This charming hike takes us up to strange rocks formations and excellent views. Some of the path is rocky with a few areas short areas we will need to scramble over. The steep section of rocks has good grip. On the way down we will see lots of saguaro and tall chain fruit cholla. The views are worth the drive out to the Superstitions and the inconvenience of the scrambles. Bring a lunch since we are stating late.
