Superstition Peak 5057 - Superstition Mountains

Superstition Peak is the highest peak on the Superstition Ridgeline. This was my second time going up the South Ascent from the Hieroglyphic Trail. Very few people go up this rugged, class 3 trail to the summit. My round-trip hike was 6.2 miles, and it took me 6 hours and 20 minutes with about 2,900 feet of elevation gain.
