Apache Canyon Hike

This is a wonderful canyon hike in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona that begins 3.3 miles East of Tortilla Flat. This hike is, however, not for the squemish. It requires considerable climbing down very large jumbled boulders that sometimes is as much as 25 feet down. Todd's Desert Hiking Guide has all the details and is located at www.toddshikingguide.com. Complete directions and maps can be obtained here. The hike is not particularly long but progress is very slow locating possible routes through the canyon. The drought is in full swing again here in Arizona so water in the canyon was not a problem. This hike is highly recommended.
