Make the Flatiron Hike a Priority!
Because I’m apparently bad at prioritizing my to-hike list, the Flatiron hike in the Superstition Mountains only took 12 years of Arizona residence to complete. If you’ve ever done that hike, you know what an idiot I am for waiting so long; if you’ve never done that hike, don’t let yourself wind up like me—hike it! Except, I’m issuing this command at a bad time of year as temperatures are already climbing into the “dangerous” range. So, if nothing else, take this as your official notice to hike this hike in the fall when temperatures are more reasonable. But please make it a point to hike this trail as soon as possible. This is the best hike I've done in the Phoenix area, and top-5 in the state.
