The Superstition Mountains east of Mesa and Queen Creek are among Arizona's most iconic natural landmarks. Their jagged peaks and deep canyons have inspired legends of lost gold mines and ancient treasure for more than a century. Beyond the myths, these mountains offer some of the finest hiking and photography opportunities in the entire Southwest.

Top Trails in the Superstition Wilderness

The Peralta Trail to Fremont Saddle is one of the most popular hikes in the Superstition Wilderness, rewarding hikers with a dramatic view of Weavers Needle. For a longer adventure, the Siphon Draw Trail leads to the Flatiron, one of the most challenging and rewarding summit hikes in the Phoenix area. Less strenuous options include the Hieroglyphic Trail, which features ancient petroglyphs and seasonal waterfalls.
