| the hike |
This is a tough hike with some scrambling and boulder climbing but it is not so strenuous if you have done the last two hikes with the club
you should be fine. We will start at Carney trailhead and ascent quickly to the top and continue over the Superstition Ridgeline until a mile
before peak 5057. We turn to the left following the faint trail to the Three Sisters Summit and enjoy the stunning views. We will take a group
picture and have a lunch break before the descent.
We will bushwhack down from a ravine and scramble until reach the Lost Goldmine trail to see the Wave Cave if time allows.
Start from Lost Goldmine Trailhead, then Carney Spring trail take the trail west up toward Boulder Saddle. Bring: • At least 3 liters of water • Sturdy hiking boots • Hiking poles • Hat, sunblock, sunglasses • Lunch/sandwich/energy bars • Sunscreen • Camera |
