If you’re looking for something different to do this Halloween night, keep reading.

We all know the story of Lost Dutchman Mine. Whether it exists or not, countless explorers have disappeared searching for its elusive treasure. Treasure Loop Trail takes hikers through the very state park where the mysterious gold is said to be located – and, consequently, where the wandering souls of those who perished on their journey supposedly roam.

Another option for a fun and certainly memorable adventure would be to embark on a haunted hike. A 2.3-mile loop, Treasure Loop is a moderately difficult trek that winds around the base of the eerie Superstition Mountains.

Given the lore surrounding Lost Dutchman Mine, every step you take will be absolutely rife with fear.
Since the park has so many different hikes, you shouldn't have to share the pathway unless it's a weekend. That means the wandering spirits of explorers who perished while searching for the elusive treasure will be more likely to make their presence known.
