| no partners | | With all the rain the past few days, I was itching to get out and see some water in the Superstitions. Two of my sons, #2 & #3, wanted to go out. It looked like the rain was not as significant as advertised the night before, plus we started later than expected, so I opted to take them down to First Water Canyon.
This little hike is short, but the payoff is big. We could hear the creek running as we made our way down the little side canyon off Hwy 88.
We came across a couple and their 2 doggos on the way down, but after that, we saw nobody else. Once we made it to the creek we went south. The water was flowing very strong. A couple of the "usual" paths were underwater. I attempted to boulder hop and keep my boots dry, but by the end, we all had soaked socks and boots.
It's hard to believe that places like this exist so close to civilization. This little canyon is so beautiful.
After I made my boys wait around while I did some long exposures, we hiked down to the confluence. That was a wet trip as well as the creek was really going strong into the lake.
A quick and easy hike, but so stunning. My sons really liked this place. It's always good to hike with your kids. I just need my oldest son to come down from Skull Valley and hike with us next time. |
