Flat Iron

Flat Iron via Siphon Draw Trail

Location: Lost Dutchman State Park - 6109 E Apache Trl Rd

Distance: 6 miles
Big Kid Friendly - Our 11 year old did great on this hike. Our friends 6 year old did great on this hike.  I would not recommend a 6 year old or an 11 year old unless they are super healthy and athletic. Then I recommend parents do it first to be familiar with it and know if their kid could do it.
Parking Fee: Yes $7

This is a hike you can be proud to say you did! It is hard but oh so worth the view when you get to the top!



Picketpost Mountain - Circumference Hike

Picketpost Mountain - Circumference Hike
Location: Superior - US 60 and North Picket Post Rd
 Distance: 10 miles

Kid Friendly: Older Kids
Parking Fee: No
Tip: When you come to the fork go right!!

This hike is long but you see so many different views.  Canyon, creek, desert, trees...There are sections you have to trail find because the trail is not super obvious.   

When we started this hike our goal was to hike to the summit. Well, following the wrong trail can lead you on an adventure! I will admit that I did not read up enough on this hike before we went. We came to a fork in the trail and we took the left fork. It looked like that would take us to the top. Boy were we wrong. But we enjoyed every second of the hike we took. I would do this hike again!
