Palmer Mine Loop Trail 12/06/2007

We hadn't done a hike in Lost Dutchman Park around the Superstition Mountains in quite a while and this one seemed like a nice way to spend a few hours.
The scenery was just great and for once a "short, easy hike" we chose actually turned out to be exactly that.

The start of the trail. Yup, it's around that nice little rock

Always some great formations

You can't see it but there's a small mine opening in the side that doesn't go far

More great rocks

Nothing like looking over urban sprawl and smog

There was a lot of nice vegetation along the way which is unusual in the Superstitions

It's just a nice shot of cholla, saguaro and rocks
