Desert Plants Of The Superstitions

The Superstitions in Arizona are the largest of the mountain ranges surrounding Phoenix, visible from many miles away along the straight roads through the suburbs east of Mesa. They rise steeply above the flat desert to a high point of 5,024 feet. Early settlers named the hills on account of the many myths and stories told by the local Pima/Apache Indians about The Mountain Of Superstition, and tales such as the fabled Lost Dutchman gold mine.

The Superstition Mountains include a wide-range of plants and animals that are native to the Sonoran Desert life zone. Plants range from the giant Saguaro cactus to the stately Ponderosa pine. Mule deer, javelinas, mountain lions, bobcats, coyotes, a variety of birds, reptiles and amphibians live in this fragile desert eco-system. A network of 180 miles of hiking trails lead into and through the Superstition Wilderness.

It is truly a living desert.
