Thirty-foot Giant Found in Superstition Mountains


I found this awesome giant saguaro on a hike a couple days ago in the Superstition Mountains, about 20 miles east of the Phoenix area.
My husband, Jack, and I took the Crosscut Trail from the First Water Trailhead road, just off Highway 89A on the way to Canyon Lake. It's a dirt road just north of Goldfield ghost town off the east side of the highway. There's a brown sign that says "First Water Trailhead." It's an easy hike with a smoother trail than many of the Superstition trails.
I've been hiking these unique desert mountains for 20 years and always feel inspired and in touch with my intuition when I'm there. A walk in the Superstitions is definitely on my How to Feel Good list.
Enjoy the hike if you're in the area!
