Lost Dutchman State Park
We made a trip out to Lost Dutchman State Park near Apache Junction this morning. It borders Tonto National Forest and the Superstition Mountains.
The clear blue skies, cactus and red rock mountains create some incredible beauty.
This Saguaro cactus seemed to get tired of holding it’s lower arms up. Either that or it’s hiding.
Saguaro and Cholla cacti in front of the mountain range. Note the blue skies.
All these cacti with Superstition Mountain in the background. There are a number of hiking trails back in and around the mountain. We didn’t take many today as it was rather warm. There’s a nice campground in the park, so we may come later when we can do some hiking and see the lights of Phoenix at night.
