Snow in the "Supes"

Wednesday, February 20 brought rain overnight and overcast skies and the occasional passing shower. The temperatures also plummeted to the low 50s during the day. We had planned to go to a museum - deeming it an indoor activity day - when we got a phone call from friends to "take a look at the Supes". They meant the Superstition Mountains to our east. We often hike here and are well acquainted with the different pikes. We have occasionally seen some snow when it has rained in the valley, but never this low on the peaks.

  So, we turned around from our planned museum trip and drove to the mountains to take some pictures.


This is Siphon Draw and to the right is the Flatiron. We have hiked up here and it is amazing to see snow all the way down.

This is Weaver's Needle.

We decided to continue along the Apache Trail to get more views of the snow scenery. Our home is at 1200 feet elevation and the Apache Trail takes us up to 2300'. What we saw here......

.......snow even at the roadside verges. Almost like home - right here in Arizona.

At the Canyon Lake Vista, we could see lots of mountain ranges in the Superstitions that are snow covered. An unusual and beautiful site here in Arizona.



We headed home from here and took a nice dip in the hot pool and warmed ourselves up!
