Without a Trace
To
preserve the
primeval
character of
this wilderness,
visitors are
urged to
practice the
"no-trace"
technique of
incursion. When
nature calls,
select a spot
well away from
water or dry
wash. Water
sources are
limited and must
be protected.
Dig a hole 4-6
inches deep.
Bury all waste
and paper. Pack
out all trash,
do not bury it,
as animals will
dig it up after
you leave.
Cigarette butts
are litter, too!
Notorious
A
well-known
feature of this
wilderness is
"Weaver's
Needle," a
4,553-foot
volcanic plug
jutting skyward
like a frozen
fountain.
Superstition
Mountain,
clearly visible
from the city of
Apache Junction,
is regularly
captured on film
and canvas.
