Superstition Springs Camping

7:45 AM

Nate and I went camping at Superstition Springs Mountain a few weekends ago. It was such a gorgeous camping and hiking area!!! We got there in the evening and set up our tent and campsite. We were right below the mountain and had the most gorgeous view!!! Nate made a fire and we cooked our foil dinner and then s'mores!!! Then we went on a walk around, looking at all of the cacti and wildflowers! We went to bed and I kept waking up and couldn't go back to sleep because the stars were so bright and looked so pretty!




We woke up early, had breakfast, and then headed on a hike called "Flat Iron". I had looked it up before we went camping and it was supposed to be one of the prettiest hikes in AZ and also very difficult. It took us about 5 hours total. The way up was completely straight up the entire way. There were a few parts where you have to rock climb a little bit. We went the wrong way once and were climbing straight up on all of these little, slippery rocks. We were so afraid we were going to cause a rock slide!!! Even though it was hard, it was such a beautiful hike! I loved looking up and seeing the cliffs right above us. We finally got to the top and there were tons of cacti with the prettiest flowers!!! It was an awesome view and felt so good to be at the top!!!




We headed back down and then went to Mesa to visit Sam and Jordan and my Aunt Suzy and cousins. It felt sooo nice to be camping again! I can't wait to go to some places in Flagstaff this summer!!!
