AS GRADUATE STUDENTS MY HUSBAND AND I JOURNEYED INTO THE TONTO NATIONAL FOREST DURING THE SUMMER AND ON WEEKENDS TO CAMP. IN 1979 - 1980. IT WAS NOT A WELL USED TRAIL AT THAT TIME. I REMEMBER OUR BATTERY DYING ON ONE TRIP AND HAVING TO WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK TO COME OUT TO RESCUE US. IT WAS ACCESSED BY A WINDY CURVING DIRT ONE LANE TRAIL. WE USED TO GO SWIMMING IN THE SAGUARO AND CANYON LAKE AND IT WAS VERY REFRESHING. I REMEMBER A GROUP OF OUR FRIENDS GOING HIKING OUT TO THE LAKES AND SCRAMBLING OVER SOME ROCKS AND JUMPING INTO A POOL OF WATER. IT WAS VERY FUN.
ON OUR HIKES INTO THE SUPERSTITION MOUNTAINS WE FOUND MANY PETROGLYPHS NEARBY. IT IS A CRAZY HIGH TRAIL THAT LEADS PAST WEAVERS NEEDLE, A TALL SPIRE THAT IS OVER 100 FEET TALL. SOME PEOPLE CLIMB IT - DARE DEVILS I WOULD SAY!
