Lost Dutchman State Park Hike

Sunday morning, at the crack of 10AM, we packed a lunch and drove to the Lost Dutchman State Park to check out the area and hopefully hike one of the trails. It was a first-time visit for all four of us. We chose the Treasure Loop Trail #56 to Green Boulder.

The Treasure Loop Trail is 2.4 miles round trip and is rated as a moderate hike. There is a 500 feet elevation change and, at our pace, it took 1.5 hours to walk. When we reached the summit of our hike we were in the shade of the mountain peak and the temperature was quite cool. After a 5 minute rest, the vote was unanimous to begin our descent back to sunshine and warmer temps.
All in all, it was a great way to spend a sunday morning in Sunny Arizona.
