Superstition Ridgeline Dayhike

GTG · Posted: 10/28/2009, 7:55 pm Post subject: Superstition Ridgeline Dayhike

I'm wanting to do a Ridgeline on Saturday November 14th.

Siphon Draw to Carney Springs with maybe a cutover to Peralta and down from there. I figure we'll plan on leaving the LDSP by 6:30 AM. When we get to the other end, we can just continue walking to camp.

Car camp on Peralta Road Friday night and Saturday night if you want. We'll try to get a campsite on the same side of the road as the Don's camp. Just before you get to the Don's camp. Hopefully the same one we've done for other events.

Shorter hikes are in the area if you want a less strenuous hike and join us at camp. There's a group doing a Flatiron hike you may be interested in.

Or you can just come out and eat and drink with us.

Food Stuff:

GTG - Pot of chili

Interested?
Get in here y'all!

Sounds like a really fun plan!
Unfortunately, I've already got a climbing trip penciled in on that weekend for a few rock faces on Mt. Lemmon.

I've been wanting to do that hike too, unfortunately doing Cochise Head on the 14th with SAHC.

Already done the Ridgeline and don't really want to hike it again but might be free to meet up for a camp and help shuttle people back to LDSP since that is in my backyard. I can take 5 comfortably in the Xterra.

I'm in! I will be slow going up Siphon to Flatiron, but if I can just keep from spraining my ankle this time, I'll be good across the Ridge!

I've also done the cutover to Peralta w/ Kent before. It's an interesting decent, that's for sure!

I might be able to help with the shuttle too. I would love to try the Flatiron again but am not up for the whole ridge line.

Trishness and beckett thanks for the shuttle help, we will probably need it depending upon how many we get wanting to hike.

Linda, I'm with you on the Flat Iron. I would love to do the Ridgeline in the worst way but I think it's beyond my level. Sad

I would be perfectly content to accomplish the Flat Iron. However, it would depend on the weather. If I'm going to climb all the way up that beast, I want to enjoy it and the view Smile

I'll plan on doing a hike up Siphon Draw to Flatiron with beckett and tibber. Been up there a few times. Be prepared for a special surprise at almost the top! Crazy

Angela... I would like to do the whole ridgeline again, but my knee has really been giving me grief lately, so there is a good chance I will only do the Flatiron up to 5024, then back down and head to the camp. If that is the case, I will be more than happy to help get you and Linda up there. It is so worth it!
