You can see the Superstitions rising up from the desert as you approach Apache Junction 40 miles east of Phoenix.
The massive sight of the mountain range is magnetic… drawing thousands every year for a closer look.
Jagged peaks, ridges and canyons rise above saguaros, desert scrub and grasses.…
It’s an unforgettable sight any time of the year.
If you’ve never seen it in person before, it can be overwhelming, looking like something almost prehistoric.
The big, bad Superstition Mountains. We'll look at this gorgeous hiking spot… with a dark, mysterious history.
And later… the prickly, unpredictable desert terrain and why you need to educate yourself before heading out for a desert hike.
Plus, snakes alive! We’ll meet Declan the snake expert who shows us what to do if we ever run across one of these on the trail.
And a stroll around a place near the Superstitions… where the spirit of Elvis is alive and well…

This show is the greatest parody of "outdoor show hosts" I've ever seen. As a native zonie I've never heard anyone refer to a jumping cholla has soft and fuzzy. The ranger does say how painful it is when stuck in you (like a porcupine quill on steroids). The ranger advises removing them with a comb and Ike pulls out a hair pick, with a straight face 🤣 There are other classic bits in both shows, but this one is classic! It is very difficult to shoot a show that looks and feels serious and then the host comes in and boom and with his lines and forced stiff persona he leaves you howling. As pugs&hugs commented below it is VERY Punny. Thanks PBS for giving us a break from another "hiking show" and Ike keep up the great work👋

I live a few miles west of the Supes and the sun comes up behind them every morning. I,ve topped that mountain a couple dozen times and it's always changing in color

Speaking of the Thunder God, as a child, I spent alot of time with my maternal grandparents on their Texas ranch. I recall lots of times hearing loud thunder on their ranch. It cracked and boomed. I found it exciting. Grandpa said it was the "tater wagon" rolling down the cobbled streets of Heaven. I said it was God talking.

Superstition mountain is not even close to one million yrs old. You really have no clue what you're talking about. You are at best making assumptions. I have to turn down the volume
