Prime Time Hiking in Arizona

Dave says: February is a great time for hiking in Arizona. Usually I bike Pass Mountain but we got out with a big group for a Sunday morning hike that was a lot of fun. The day was slightly overcast and the temperature was perfect. We went around the back side to where you get some good views of the Goldfield mountains. Skye was a good hiker and is pictured below playing with her pine cone that I've attached to the pack with a shoelace.

On my birthday, we did a morning hike up Lone Mountain. It is one of the lesser known hikes in the area but the 360 views from the top are great. Carrying our little girl up this trail is always a workout.

Finally, we tried out a new hike in the Superstitions on the massacre grounds trail. It's a beautiful trail with an ominous history that is just over five miles total and ends in this nice small waterfall. The wildflowers were just starting to come out when we did this hike. This one had great views as well.
