Praying Hands to Slot Rock Hike


Praying Hands to Slot Rock Hike
Superstition Mountains 
Lost Dutchman State Park

The Praying Hands to Slot Rock hike is located in the Superstition Mountains near Apache Junction, AZ.  The trail is a 4.3 mile loop with 954 foot elevation gain rated by Alltrails as a moderate level of difficulty.

The area has a lot of hikers with multiple intersecting trails and a lot of short false dead end trails.  I used the Alltrails app on my phone and was able for the most part stay on the correct trail.  The trail is probably correctly labeled as moderate no part of the trail was extremely steep or difficult to gain footing.  I did use my hiking poles and they were a welcome addition to my gear.

The hike offered lots of panoramic views with some interesting rock formations.
