In the park where we have been for the past month, groups go out regularly for hikes in the nearby city and state parks. This week we joined the group of 18 people who hiked to Massacre Point in the Superstition Mountains. It was a 7.8km trail with an elevation of 1000'. Sometime in the past, the Apache Indians cornered Spanish soldiers against this high cliff wall and killed them all. We hiked up to the top of the cliff where we had lunch before descending again. It was a great workout for us especially considering that the leader was a 78 year old retired farmer from Iowa who kept up quite a pace. Who says "old guys" don't rock!
