The Mazatzal Wilderness Map produced by the US Forest Service contains the most up-to-date information on access roads, trails, campsites, terrain, and points of interest within the Mazatzal Wilderness areas. All wilderness maps contain contour lines, a topographic quad index and contact phone numbers, and the vast majority contain planning tips and descriptions of the terrain.
Given how close Mazatzal is to Mesa, a major population center, this is a remarkably remote and beautiful area. Elevations range from 2,100 feet at Sheep Bridge in the southwest to 7,903 feet on Mazatzal Peak. Sonoran Desert shrubland in the west rises to semidesert grasslands, then mountain shrubs such as manzanita and turbinella oak. The higher elevations support scattered pinyon-juniper woodlands and a few ponderosa pines and Douglas fir.

Just east of the greater Phoenix area rise the Superstitions - a wild, rugged range of volcanic peaks, mesas and canyons. North of the Superstitions and still only a two-hour drive from Phoenix, the Mazatzal Mountains, one of Arizona's largest wilderness areas, offer the hiker solitude and beautiful scenery.
Hiking Arizona's Superstitions and Mazatzal Country is your guide to exploring and enjoying this remarkable country, including the Verde River, the pine-forested peaks along the Mazatzal Crest, the jagged summits of Four Peaks and the labyrinthine canyons of the Superstitions. The optional hikes and cross-country routes featured in the book will challenge the most experienced hiker, while the easy-to-read maps, hike descriptions, and elevation profiles of more than 50 hikes ranging from a few hours to a week in length will provide all skill levels with the necessary information to tackle some of Arizona's wildest country.
