I began my hike up Superstition Peak at 10:02 AM. After 37 minutes on the Hieroglyphic Trail I reached the junction of the South Ascent Trail. At 11:23 AM, I was standing below The Balanced Rock. That was 1.9 miles from the trailhead. From here it was 1.4 miles to the 5,057-foot summit. At 1:35 PM I sat down on the summit. The elevation gain from the Hieroglyphic Trail to the top was about 2,370 feet. It took me 3 hours and 30 minutes from the parking lot. At 1:57 PM, I headed back down. I was back at The Balanced Rock at 3:38 PM. Then I reached the Hieroglyphic Trail at 4:10 PM, and I arrived at my car a 4:48 PM. My hike was 6.4 miles. round-trip, and it took me 6 hours and 44 minutes.
