Sunrise in the Superstition Mountains, near Apache Junction, Arizona.
We were camping in the Lost Dutchman State Park. Info on Lost Dutchman State Park ---> Lost Dutchman And yeah its that Lost Dutchman haha The one with all the legends of a lost gold mine that has been featured in multiple movies and countless TV shows. Including my favorite as a kid "In Search Of..." hosted by Leonard Nimoy. Episode 1 Season 2. Originally aired 12/24/1977.
The rugged mesa rock formation to the right is called the Flatiron.
We got up early and started hiking up the Flatiron with headlamps. The trails were pretty easy so it wasn't too bad. Info on hike ---> Flatiron Hike Full disclosure... I guess the hike gets pretty tough near the top. We were done and having breakfast back at the camp long before we would have reached the peak lol
Almost too easy to get these awesome views.
We basically hiked until the sun was up. Here is a view of the Flatiron shortly after sunrise.
