Sure, La Barge Mountain is one of the tallest summits in the Superstition Wilderness, but there are so many more reasons to put this adventure on your list. You’ll find arches and caves along the way, as well as a cool rock ledge we dubbed “The Balcony” that makes a great place to eat lunch. Part of this route is off trail, but the route to the summit isn’t too difficult for an experienced adventurer. Once at the summit, most people will want to return the way they came. However, those who enjoy a grueling journey with downclimbs, loose rocks, and all kinds of sharp plants can make the somewhat treacherous journey to Triangle Arch.
