Treasure Loop, Lost Dutchman State Park

I hiked part of the Treasure Loop at Lost Dutchman State Park. The trail actually starts out in the park and then crosses into federal land. The lower part of the trail is fairly flat, wide and easy, but as it approaches the mountain it gets pretty steep. The loop has a 500' elevation gain and the full loop is 2.4 miles around and has a moderate rating.

Southwest across Apache Junction toward the Santans. There's a balloon in the distance.
