We had no idea this was one of the most tranquil areas in the Superstition Wilderness

Wow! Very high quality and engaging video. You are a great editor Stacey, you should be proud of your work.

[@wildpathsaz]

That is very generous of you - thank you for watching!

You girls are crazy!! 😂😂 that’s a super long hike 😳 Thanks for sharing this! 😎👍 I was planning on hiking to Herman’s cave soon, but I think I want to get into that creek too 🤘👍😉😎

[@wildpathsaz]

It’s a long hike just for the cave, so you definitely should take a dip while you’re at it! So beautiful out there with all the water, and La Barge Canyon is one of the most scenic. Good luck - watch for those cairns at the creek crossings. That was always where we would get off trail.

I have Herman's Cave on my calendar this Friday! this video came at the most perfect time, I was almost talking myself out of it!

[@wildpathsaz]

So glad! La Barge Canyon is especially scenic, and it’s extra beautiful out there with the water and wildflowers starting to bloom. Have a great hike!

@@wildpathsaz Thank you!!

That’s some SERIOUS mileage for a day trip. My feet hurt just watching😂🥾

[@wildpathsaz]

Why do we do this to ourselves? Heather just wanted a hard hike - no specific destination, just hard. Luckily I knew Herman’s Cave was on that route, and Coffee Flat ended up being a nice surprise. We had never been out there before.

[@walkingwithawookie1097]

@@wildpathsaz At least you guys achieved your goal😂

That cave was awesome! What a crazy long hike. I would definitely have gone swimming with you.

[@wildpathsaz]

Note to self: Always wear a good pair of underwear hiking - you never know what’s gonna happen

[@athoutdoors9921]

Good job! That’s a long trail. I did it in a day years ago too.

[@wildpathsaz]

Thanks! Coffee Flat was a pleasant surprise that kept us going through that last bit - we need to go back for an overnight stay.

[@irishkk]

tysm for this wonderful video !! i rlly enjoyed it !!! i wanna go hiking like this one day , it's my dream ! ^^

[@wildpathsaz]

Thank you for stopping by and watching! I hope your dream comes true.

Great video! Did this loop recently as a day hike and really loved it, despite the cat claws. This video captures the whole experience nicely. That's the furthest east I've been in the superstitions; I'm open to recommendations for any trailhead accessible without 4WD on the east side

[@wildpathsaz]

Thank you so much! We have definitely experienced worse catclaw than that, so we can’t complain too much. Most trailheads on the east that I know of have rough roads, but the road to Reavis Trailhead is relatively smooth. We did it in a 2wd Tundra no problem. It’s just a long drive over there right now with the road through Fish Creek blocked. If you haven’t done Reavis Falls, though, put it on the list.

[@matthewjsloan]

Sincerely appreciate the info! Thanks.

[@wildpathsaz]

@@matthewjsloan we just recently went to Woodbury Trailhead, and it was in decent shape. I think if you have high clearance and the road is dry, it won't be a problem for you. We hiked to La Barge Summit from there - new video rolling out soon.
