Superstition mountain, has at j last been opened to curious Ari ; zonians and visitors from other ;states. Through provisions made by ; a company which has establish ed a lodge at the foot of the mystic peak 45 miles east of Phoenix, the mountain may now be cliined to its summit. R. A. Bird, Mesa, and H. C. Johnson, Gilbert, have opened a temporary lodge near the base of the mountain, arranged to make trips from there to the peak. From the latter point a great area of South-Central Arizona may be seen in panorama, as from an airplane. The Salt River and Gila valleys and the intervening mountains, the cit ies of the one valley, the ancient Indian landmarks of the other, are clearly visible. The company lias announced plans to erect a lookout station on the highest peak of the Sup erstition mountian, and plans by next summer to have a lodge and camping accommodations. The temporary lodge now is reached by turning off Apache Trail one and one fourth miles north of Goldfield. It is one and a half miles from the high way. The mountain trip will be made over the old Peralta trail, on which Adolph Ruth lost his life in June, 1931. Ruth was the ninth man known to have died in search of the fabl ed Lost Dutchman mine. Guides on the trail trips are thoroughly familiar w*ith the legends which have been woven about Superstition mountain, and on the trips will be able to point out the prominent features connected with them, such as the “Indian turned to stone” on the south ridge, the archeologi cal evidence of inhabitation of the mountains, and the famed cactus orchards which appear at several points in the moun tains.
