Did something a little different on this trip to Apache Junction, I left Sunday afternoon instead of getting up at zero dark thirty to arrive in the Superstitions early Monday morning. As a result I had time to get in a short hike before it got dark. This would be a sunset hike and what would be more appropriate than sunset Arch. There is no trail to this arch but the cross country route to the arch is fairly easy. The return trip was a little different from the way in because from above the easiest route is more apparent. Could not get a picture of the sunset through the arch because it was not oriented properly and I was unable to rotate the arch or move the sun. I did play around with the camera on a few saguaros with the sun set (kind of a Rayhuston effect). Great views to the Northeast over Salt River Canyon, Weavers Needle and Superstition Ridge to the Southish.
