Gold in the Desert?

Late afternoon sunlight graces the tip of Miners Needle in the Superstition Mountains Arizona. This view of the amazing pinnacle was taken near the Miners Saddle facing southwest. The eye of the needle can be seen at top left. It is the “other” famous needle here in the mountains and about 3 miles as the crow flies from the much renowned Weavers Needle. The Forest Service reworked the path of the Miners Trail in the early 1960s and also changed the name to Dutchmans Trail. Dutchman's Trail climbs the eastern side of the canyon and continues all the way through the mountains. Traces of the old Miners Trail can still be seen across the canyon along the western draw (Needle side). Like many places in these mountains Miners Needle has a rich treasure hunting history and lore associated with it. 🤙
