I completed the route exactly as described in march of 2019 and it was amazing, I would highly recommend it! The Superstitions are absolutely beautiful. This was my first ever backpacking trip and I completed it solo. We had an unusual amount of snow this year so there was water everywhere on this trip. I was constantly crossing small streams and I was covered in mud. I managed to find a campsite that had a good flow of water right behind it! At one point on day 2 I struggled to cross a huge stream of water, it crossed the trail and was at least waist deep and flowing fast. I had to hike upstream in order to cross and ended up loosing the trail for a bit. I ended up hiking 28 miles in total over 3 days. It was a truly amazing trip and I totally have the bug now! Cant wait for my next trip! Thanks for the awesome guide. Your directions and descriptions were super helpful!
