Wildflower Hike at Lost Dutchman State Park March 8, 2008

Meet up at high noon at the Saloon at Goldfield Ghost Town. It is a bit of a tourist trap, but it has some great Old West scenery, and it is a convenient place for everyone to find each other. After a bite to eat, we can head up the road to the Lost Dutchman State Park I am pretty sure that park admission is $5 per car. Once at Lost Dutchman we can hike along the base of the Superstition Mountains. The trails are easy to moderate in difficulty. Expect to walk about 3-5 miles. At this time of day, the sun will be lighting up the West face of the mountain, and the poppies will still be open (they tend to close up later in the day). Bring some bottled water for the hike. The scenery should be quite beautiful.
