Lost Dutchman Hike & Wild Flower Expedition

Sat. March 27th – 8:30 a.m.

One of Arizona’s most intriguing and scenic spots:  the fabled Superstition Mountains!   Mysteries, legends of gold, and lost mines beckon even today!
Lost Dutchman State Park is slated to close in a few months, so come see it now! 

Jim Clarke, AzOSA Resident Geologist, will lead a moderate hike on the Siphon Draw Trail to discuss the area’s geology.   Did you know that the Superstition Mountains area was once the site of a huge volcanic event?  Come on out and learn more!  The hike is about 1 - 2 hours long, but you can turn back at any point.  This event is “kid friendly” (sorry, no pets permitted)!

Cost:  AZ State Parks Entry Fee:  $5 per car (up to 4 adults)
AzOSA will accept a love offering at the event.

Location:   Lost Dutchman State Park,   6109 N. Apache Trail, Apache Junction, AZ


Bring water, snacks, sunscreen and maybe even a picnic lunch!  There are restaurants and fast food places in nearby Apache Junction as well.  Hiking boots/sturdy shoes recommended.  We will meet everyone at the Siphon Draw Trailhead area inside the park - - look for the AzOSA sign!  Plan to be there by 8:30 a.m. so we can start the hike while it is still cool.
