Superstition Mountains - Day 3-4

This is the best 10 mile drive that is within proxemity of a major city out there. Just to the East of Phoenix lies the Superstition mountains; named for the bright green that grows on many of the rocks. The land is jagged with severe mountains and deep gorges/canyons as these mountains are young. The brown and green contrasted on such great geography reminds me of Hawaii. If you are ever in phoenix and have access to transportation, go to Apache Junction & take 88 northeast into the mountians, the road is good. However, if you want to find an awesome place to park/camp a 10,000 lb vehicle, the terrain gets a bit rough. We had 365 degree views on the top of a knob that required some suspension articulation in our F350 chassis & suspension. Onward & Upward.
PS - That Saguaro Cactus was huge!
