    This was an experience. After the mountains were recently on fire it’s like the heat still remains. Sad sight but a very pleasant trail. It wasn’t difficult at all my dog and I made it with simplicity.

    Nice out and back hike with a lot of climbing. Better choice for a weekday than mid-day Saturday.

    Great, quick out and back. Fairly busy after a rainfall. The waterfall was flowing which was cool. Great hike to bring your dog with. Terrain better than most for their paws.

Massacre Grounds Trail
Great short hike in the Superstition Mountain area (next to Lost Dutch State Park). An easy 3 hour or less round trip. On the way you will pass "Touchdown" Saguaro cactus
