Been hiking and backpacking the Sups since the 80s. Longest trip we took is came in at Fremont Saddle and came out at Flatiron almost a week later. There is a hike for everyone in the Superstitions, from short and easy like Hieroglyphics trail to more difficult like Ridgeline or Battleship. Miles of trails, old ranches , old mines, caves and Indian ruins, springs and seasonal streams make sure there is something for everyone. Thanks for sharing your experience!

That's awesome! It's an incredible area for sure and we have a lot more exploring out there to do.. more backpacking videos coming in the future. Thanks for watching!

@@conorkcarroll Awesome, will be looking forward to them! Bit of advice for the Superstitions, never ever underestimate the desert. Always ensure you have enough water, I could never stress that enough. Be a Boyscout, be prepared! Sounds like common sense but, you would be surprised. Best piece of advice, don’t always stick to the main trail. We have discovered so many amazing places just exploring. As an avid caver we have found dozens and dozens of mines in the area, if you are prepared and careful, they can be a lot of fun. We have also found quite a few caves, some pretty extensive. Most of those are not in any records or information available to us. It’s a beautiful place to explore maybe 10 months out of the year, otherwise head north!

Thanks! So being it was our first time we rented the backpacks, sleeping bags, and tent from a local camping store called Just Roughin It. The backpacks I believe were Osprey and were around the 60L mark. Sleeping bags were Nemo, and the tent I can't remember the brand. For cooking we brought our own Jetboil. Is there anything specific you wanted to know about? I think besides those main things it's just little stuff like a powerbank to charge our phones, books, utensils, headlamp, stuff like that.

I was just in Sedona and did several hikes. You mentioned Devils Bridge and the wait there. When I went, there was only one family there. When I went to walk the bridge they left and I was all alone. No waiting or anything. I was practically in shock because I heard there was always a big line there. It was amazing. My favorite place was the Birthing Cave. The view there was amazing but certainly other places had great views also. Enjoy your adventures.

16:05 it's a huge tree lying on its side. And, this is one of its branches broken off, and its stump is sticking up in the air. It's hard to believe the size of these trees. Devils Tower is a perfect example of this truth. There are thousands of these trees all over the world. They rose several miles into the sky. But, now they are broken and petrified. Hangman 1128 is a great channel to see its truth.

Gorgeous park and trails - It’s great that you filmed a hike in real time. Love it. Since the camera has no peripheral vision though, I was hoping you’d angle it off to the side once in a while and above you so we could see how high the rock walls were in front of you. Really gives you a good idea of how crowded the trails are- what time of day was this, so I can avoid it? 🫤
@conorkcarroll4 ай бұрын
We started the trail I believe around 9am.. definitely the earlier you start the less crowded it will be! But depending what time of the year it is if you have to take the shuttle from the visitor center you can only leave as early as the shuttle starts running. As for elevation gain it's about 1,800ft!
@judyclark86534 ай бұрын
@@conorkcarrollYeah, I’d be more inclined to start at dawn, but I’ll check the shuttle times - even the first one is probably crowded. So many foreign accents - wish US citizens had priority like they’re doing in, I think, Michigan with state residents. I could probably only get up to that Scott’s overlook, if that! Thanks!
