>>2547981>>2547993Can take the Gateway Trail in the Superstitions off Bush Highway starting at the base of the Stewart Dam, and hike into the canyon about 1.5 miles.
This is all within a 40 minute drive from downtown Phoenix
Along the trail are over 10 mine openings up to the Arrastra
Passed that following the canyon trail up through about 6 switchbacks and some steeper terrain, you get to a clearing at the top where a campfire ring is seen and a field of soft golden grass is used as bedding for a camp.
The place is littered with mine openings from the Spanish, in what is known as the Peralta Mines.
Moving to the areas on each side of the trail up are openings that Waltz described.
He was telltale in his descriptions as he mentioned elements of the entire area you hike through and the mines that were made there are also described so you come to reason that he was talking about more than just one mine.
I will post more pics along the trail....here are at least 5 or 6 openings
