Superstition Mountains

Rising to heights of 6,266 feet (1,910 meters), the jagged peaks and sheer cliffs of the Superstition Mountains stand as one of Arizona’s most photographed natural wonders. Nestled in the cacti-dotted valleys of the Sonoran Desert, these mountains hug the southern borders of the Tonto National Forest. Hikers and rock climbers are drawn to the rugged terrain, which offers a variety of trails and climbing routes. Visitors can explore the diverse landscape, from the arid desert floor to the pine-clad summits, experiencing the unique blend of desert and mountain ecosystems.
