SECOND WATER TRAIL
Superstition Wilderness, Arizona

 

DETAILS

Directions:

Take the first right turn after passing the Lost Dutchman State Park on route 88. Follow to the end. The trail starts at the First Water Trailhead.

Equipment:

  • Map
  • sun protection
  • sturdy hiking shoes
  • at least one gallon of water
  • Trekking Poles
  • camera

Hike Info:

trail is easy to follow but has full exposure to the sun.  Stay hydrated.

From the parking lot at the trail head, the route descends at an even gradual pace. The trail is 3.5 miles long but I only hiked the first 1.8 miles of it. The trail is lined with Saguaro Cactus as well as Prickly Pear and Teddy Bear Cholla. The route is wide and easy to find. After the first .3 miles there is a sign for the Dutchman Trail on the right. After another 1.5 miles the trail widens significantly when you come upon another trail post for the Black Mesa Trail. That’s where I turned. The Second Water Trail is easy but offers no shade.
