Rogil and Bill arranged the annual Superstition Mountain ridge line hike. This year it rained the night before and continued to rain all day. It was a very soggy hike, but the beautiful views and waterfalls created by the rain were magnificent. Thanks, everyone, for a great day! --Kathy

Robert begins the hike up Siphon Draw. 

The best way to go up Siphon Draw is usually to stay in the drainage. Today the drainage was full of water. 

Note how wet our route was; see the water flowing off the trail in the foreground. 

Sheri pauses at a pretty part of the trail/waterfall up Siphon Draw. 

Sheri navigates the trail, which is a waterfall today. 

That's the Flatiron at the top left corner. 

We crossed the water at the rocks Sheri is near. 

The chute had a big, beautiful waterfall. 

Richard, Rogil, and Dave carefully walk up Siphon Draw. 

Much of our route up Siphon Draw was slippery. 

Note how much water was flowing down Siphon Draw. 

Robert heads up the chute (alias "the bowling alley"). 

Everything was soaked. 

Sheri, Dave, Rogil, and Richard head up Siphon Draw. 

Some of the waterfalls were pretty sizeable. 

Our hikers are the red and blue dots in the upper right quadrant. 

Dave and Sheri head toward a waterfall. 

Our route takes us past a waterfall. (Actually, we changed the normal route because the part of the waterfall below here was on slippery, steep rock that's no problem when dry.) 

Dave and Richard are next to a nice waterfall. 

Much of our route was a waterfall. 

There's a waterfall off to the left. 

Superstition Mountain hoodoos are in the background. 

This view is to the south (I think). 

Clouds hike peaks on our mountain. 

Note how the water gravitates to the trail.
