Flat Iron Hike

There is a right way and a wrong way to hike Lower and Upper Siphon Draw Trail in Lost Dutchman State Park. Summiting the Flat Iron is an accomplishment but the Superstition Mountains are not easily conquered.

Hike, climb, bike, picnic, and camp around the Superstition Mountains at the Lost Dutchman State Park, east of Phoenix, Arizona.
The Lost Dutchman State Park may be located in a remote stretch of wilderness, but it is notable enough (and close enough to Pheonix, Arizona) that the campsites fill up fast. Between the views and the southwest weather, It's a popular haunt for snowbirds in the winter. Those who are lucky enough to nab a campsite, often hunker down for an extended stay. We can't really blame them. We would have too if we could.
The morning broke with fire in the sky. This is certainly one of the upsides of nomadic life. If I spend too much time indoors, I gradually approach a nocturnal sleeping schedule. On the road, we often rise in anticipation of the sun.
