I took advantage of a four-day break from work and booked a flight to Phoenix, AZ for a quick hike in the Superstition Mountains. I did around 13 miles down the First Water, Second Water, and then Boulder Trails. I trekked past Battleship Mountain and then ascended a steep lonely volcanic butte that overlooked a stream valley and the distant towering Weavers Needle. This group of mountains located east of Phoenix offer some really pristine desert hiking full of rugged views, gigantic saguaro, wildlife, and a bit of scrambling for those looking for an added challenge in their hike. Definitely worth a return trip for future in-depth exploration.
