Nestled deep in the mysterious Superstition Wilderness, this 196-foot natural wonder isn't easy to get to. It takes a nearly 13-mile hike with an elevation gain of over 3,000 feet - but if you're up for the challenge, you won't be disappointed. Come along as we explore this amazing Superstition Mountains waterfall.
If you love waterfall hikes but aren't a fan of the crowds, the Reavis Falls Trail will be right up your alley.
It is among the most beautiful waterfalls in Arizona.
It is tucked away in the remote Superstition Wilderness.
This challenging hike is lightly trafficked for two reasons: its seclusion and difficulty.
At nearly 13 miles long and packing an elevation gain of over 3,000 feet, the trail is no walk in the park, but it showcases all the beauty that comes with hiking in the Superstition Mountains.
The sweeping mountain and Salt River views, however, are worth working up a sweat.
The trail offers a little something different in every season.
From eye-popping spring wildflowers to piles of fresh snow in the winter, it's like getting four separate hikes in one.
Just remember to watch where you step.
There are cacti lining the path for almost the entire duration of this hike.
When you finally happen upon the waterfall, you'll hardly even think about all the work you put in to reach it.
Towering at a height of nearly 200 feet, Reavis Falls is a true feat of nature.
The force of its flow is dependent on several factors, including snowmelt and recent rainfall - but you'll be blown away no matter what.
Cascading down into a shallow pool of water, the falls replenish the lifeblood of our Mother Earth in the most beautiful way.
You can even pitch your tent on the trail.
Just take a look at this spectacular view! It is among the most scenic overlooks in the state.
