Hike #4 - Second Water Trail - Superstition Wilderness, AZ

After parking at the First Water Trailhead, Paul Pastore and I started hiking on the First Water Trail.  After 5 or 6 mins we came to the sign for Second Water. We had hiked the First Water Trail a couple of months prior and fell in love with the Superstitions.  There are so many trails to explore and wide panoramic views from each summit.  This trail starts out fairly level crossing a couple of dry creek beds and is easy to navigate. After 1.8 miles we came to the junction for the Black Mesa Trail.  We continued straight through Garden Valley and Second Water Canyon until we reached the Boulder Canyon Trail which we hiked last October.  At this point, we had hiked 3.5 miles.  We turned back the way we came.  It was a perfect sunny day in December 2014 and great time to enjoy the beauty of the Superstitions.
