Some more from the hike around Hackberry Spring in the #SuperstitionWilderness that were all in the running to get included. Just 4 photos is so limiting for such a grand bit of desert! But they're all good for #FootpathFriday. And even one (showing the well established trail the signs don't point along) for #FingerpostFriday.

I made a second visit to the Superstition Wilderness in March of 2019, featured for this #ThrowbackThrusday. I was out to make a loop past Hackberry Spring with a thought to heading up the mountain by the same name. I ended up visiting both, but altered my route from planned a little.

Hackberry Spring and Hackberry Mesa

Journal of day hikes and backpacking, generally in the western United States. Trip reports, landscape pictures, sketches, some advice.

Dusty morning on the way up to Praying Hands. #hiking #SuperstitionWilderness
Spent the morning, a fine treat to have a bit of some cloudy and rainy stuff, at #BoyceThompsonArboretum. What a gem of a place on the perfect solstice (almost) day!
#LightShow in the daytime! That's Pinto Peak in the background there, I think, in the eastern #SuperstitionWilderness
