Superstition Mountains cougar shadow
September 15 – 19
At Superstition Mountains
Apache Junction
Arrive before sunset to claim a spot
Trail is mostly walking, short hiking section
Mountain roads are narrow, drive carefully
A mountain-sized desert cat emerges from the cliffs at sunset. For a few days around the spring and fall equinoxes, the setting sun angles just right to cast a cougar-shaped shadow across the Superstition Mountains, a wild silhouette you have to see to believe.
