Solo Hike of Battleship Mountain- Adventures and Thrills from the Trail!

Join me on one of the Superstition Mountains' most infamous and dangerous hikes: Battleship Mountain! My solo hike took me from Canyon Lake, along the Boulder Canyon Trail, all the way to the top of Battleship.
I've trimmed this 9.5 hour adventure down to just over 20min, so you can see all the beautiful sights, marvel at all the crazy finds, and experience the thrill of climbing the mountain's dizzying heights, all like you're right there on the trail with me!🌵
Thanks for watching! 😊

Such a unique landscape scenery, and really touching shots my friend. Great solo adventure, narrated part is great too!

[@naturallytrailheaded]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! The Superstition Mountains really are a magical place to hike, I find something new and amazing every time I go!

[@BettyBrittenburg-zy8im]

That was an incredible journey. You took me on a hike I could never do. Beautiful but to high for me. Where are we going next. Great job. Please be careful!

Awesome job Mark! I I really wish I was there with you... although it wouldn't have been nearly as peaceful and quite. HA!!

[@naturallytrailheaded]

Thanks man! You're more than welcome to join me on ANY hike, any time!

Have spent a lot of time in Arizona from December to April. Great hiking weather! Enjoying your videos. Have a question about some of the shots I am seeing: Is the patch on your hat Naturally Trailheaded BACKWARDS or do you use the I-phone camera like a selfie that turns things backwards? I found it distracting, but at the same time funny. Also, you truly need a microphone cover to cut out the wind noise. Take care out there and enjoy all that beauty.

Thanks for the comment, and you were certainly here during the best time of the year! When I filmed this video, I was still using a camera on a selfie stick, which would explain the logo being backwards, as well as all the excessive wind. The camera I use now (GoPro) is much better, and you can really see/hear the difference in the newer videos. Thanks for watching!
