This post is apparently turning into a series. I have been using the same title for some time for photos of balanced rocks. This particular balanced rock is located in the Superstition Wilderness Area. Here is a quote about the Wilderness Area from the United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service:
This Wilderness was designated in 1939, and was expanded to its present size in 1984. It now contains approximately 160,200 acres. There is a well-developed trail system, and the western end of the wilderness receives heavy use during the cooler times of the year. Trail conditions vary from fair to very poor. Several trails are unsuitable for horses.
The area is starkly beautiful and often rugged, but can be inhospitable to those not equipped to meet nature on her own terms. Searing heat and a shortage of water are typical conditions in the summer. Bitter cold, rains (and even snowstorms) may occur in the winter.I agree with all of the above. We were hiking at the end of November, 2017 and it was still over 90 degrees.
