Kimmi Bitter & the Westside Twang create a captivating sound that blends classic country with surf rock, and psychedelic twangs.

Fish Creek Vista - Superstition Mountains

I began my hike at 12:23 PM, and it was 102 degrees. I reached the end of Fish Creek Vista in 1 hour and 25 minutes. That was 1.04 miles. I tried to go farther than last time but I was unable to. I got back to my car at 2:40 PM. My hike was 2 miles round-trip, and it took me 2 hours and 18 minutes.

Fish Creek Vista  showcases dramatic Miocene-age volcanic rocks. The deep canyon displays a complex sequence of interbedded ash-flow tuffs, massive monolithic lava breccias, and rhyolite flows carved by rapid water erosion.
