This illustrated guide to Arizona’s Superstition Mountains introduces readers to the history, landscape, and mysterious beauty of this fabled range.

A 2018 Southwest Book of the Year

Arizona’s Superstition Mountains are like no other mountain range in the continental United States. The ancestral ground of the Western Apache and sacred heights of the neighboring Pima, it is a place of great natural beauty—with soaring cliffs, towering saguaro cactus forests, desert wildflowers, and roadrunners. But it is also the West’s deadliest wild area, having claimed the lives of more than five hundred visitors over the past century. Part hiking guide, part history book, Exploring the Superstitions vividly brings the beauty, mystery, and majesty of this unique area to life.

Exploring the Superstitions shares the historical legends full of 1840s gold prospectors, brave-hearted Apaches, sly outlaws, and others. It contains fascinating information about the native flora and fauna of the range, from poisonous rattlesnakes to rare flowers. And finally, it offers an in-depth guide to every trail in the range that will satisfy even the most experienced of hikers.

Including maps and dozens of original photos, Exploring the Superstitions belongs on the shelf, or in the backpack, of every Southwestern history buff and veteran hiker.
