Although close to town, the Superstition is truly Wilderness. If you are planning a simple day hike on one of the popular trails like First Water, Peralta or Jacob's Crosscut, our map will help. However, Our maps are summarized, are not drawn to scale, and provide
basic information on trails, routes, roads, etc.
If you are planning an extensive multi-day hike deep into the wilderness, we strongly suggest you acquire forest maps or in-depth topographic
maps from the Tonto National Forest or Wide World of Maps.
Permits are not required for individual visits. For fire restrictions, trail information or in-depth maps,
contact the Tonto National Forest, Mesa Ranger District at 480-610-3300.
