Hike: Massacre Falls
Location: Superstitions.
Distance: 5.8 miles
Hiking Partners: UJ and Colin
History: One day way back when the Peralta family was mining for gold. They gathered up all their gold and started hiking and back to their camp when they were ambushed by Indians. Everyone died except for two Peralta family members. The Indians took everything they left behind including the gold which they hid somewhere in the Superstitions. After this ambush the gold was never to be found again. This is where the Lost Dutchmen's Mine legend began.
The falls behind us were trickling but there was water!
Amazing views hiking back down.
UJ lead the pace as we headed back down for lunch!
Overall, one of my new favorite hikes!
Until next time!
