Thanks, @AllenCrawley! That sounds awesome. Can you recommend a specific trail that would be under ~1500' elevation change and ~8 miles +/-? Out-and-back v. loop doesn't matter.
Download the AllTrails app. Here's a direct link to the Superstitions section: Best Trails in Superstition Wilderness - Arizona | 2763 Photos & 2294 Reviews | AllTrails

Here are a few that come to mind:
Siphon Draw trail. Hike it up to the Basin (the smooth rock area) then turn around. Not sure of the elevation to that point but should be under 1500'.

Near Siphon Draw is Prospectors trail and Jacob's Cross Cut trail. Just a few miles long with only a few hundred foot gain. Incredible views.

Massacre Grounds trail. 5.3 miles out and back. 1089' gain. Possible waterfall at end of trail depending on recent rain.

Hieroglyphic trail. 3 miles out and back. 570' gain. Get to see petroglyphs at the end of the trail.

Wave Cave trail. 3 miles out and bank. 866' gain. Cool cave at end of the trail.

Would anyone be interest in watching Black Panther on February 15th? Would be a late show.

I found this which seems quite highly reviewed, but it's 2-person minimum for a booking.

Anyone interested? I can drive from Scottsdale


I'm intrigued.

Where can I find the summit schedule? I need to see when my plane flights are, and work out how much free time I have before things kick off.

I plan to hike the Peralta Trail on February 14th or 15th. Anyone interested in hiking it together? Do you prefer Wednesday or Thursday?

I'll be in the Phoenix area for sure between February 13 and February 18 and then will probably go explore Arizona, Nevada and California until March 5. When will you be there?
I have a campsite at San Elijo on the bluff over the beach. Will be there from March 8-12. It is a big spot with plenty of room for a car and/or a tent. It is in San Diego, California. I go over 3 or 4 times a year to unwind. There is electricity and water on the site.

I am up for a few hikes. I will be there the afternoon of the 13th and leaving the 20th (I think, only booked one way so far). I did a day hike with a bunch of guys/girls last time and it was a blast.

Unfortunately I'm leaving on the 6th of March. Otherwise would definitely love to hang out.

The length + elevation gain is a little much for me - I could do it, but I'd be slow..... and sore.... and cranky the next day. ;-) But bring us pics when you get back!

If anyone needs help fighting jet lag by the poolside, in the spa or in a bar on the 15th, I will be happy to lend a hand. Arriving 14th in the evening after 24+ hours of travel.

By the way, I got my room at the discount using the even code; I presume those rooms are collocated? Just double-checking to make sure I don't go "Hi, how's it going? Are you here for the Fastlane meetup?" to everyone I see in the hallway in vain.

I'm a bad photographer so even if I take some pictures they probably won't be very pretty. I like to keep a relatively fast pace and find it hard and actually more tiring to hike slowly so you're right it probably won't work.

I'll be checking in on the 15th. Chilling out by the poolside sounds good.

Looks like I'll be getting in at sometime Thursday afternoon - after a solo 13 hour drive. Definitely going to need a beer or 2 after that.

For anyone interested in checking out VR, I'll bring along my setup so anyone who's curious can give it a try after the conference on Friday.

@AllenCrawley

Thank you for the information!

My wife and I plan on renting a car on the 15th and driving out to Superstition in the afternoon.

Is there a moderate skill, four hour trail that you would recommend? Massacre looks like it would be a good option for us.

I arrive the night before. I'll be down for this. Haha yeah, I'm sure we can spot each other somehow.

I was looking into this one actually. Sounds great if you're still up for it. Looks like we can get some great views.

I'm sorry, but in the end I won't be attending so won't be there.

You're not attending the summit? :(

Nope, sorry. My flight has been canceled last minute and it made me realize that I didn't really feel like going so instead of rescheduling I decided to get a refund and cancel my trip.

For the sake of my well-being and self-respect I promised myself that I wouldn't force myself to do something just because I already made plans or feel obligated to do something. When I bought the ticket I thought it was the right decision but I've changed my mind (or the flight cancellation made me realize it).

I agree that you should do what you want. I was looking forward to shaking your hand though. Your life and your choices are about YOU!
