- Backpacking the most haunted mountains in the US! There's more legends, stories, murders, and mysterious deaths here than can be officially recorded! Come with us as we backpack for 3 days and 2 nights through this rugged landscape that has a darker history than any other mountain range in America.
Kate and I are both professional outdoor guides and wanted to see what the hype of these mountains is all about! There's no better way to do that than to get our gear, hit the trail, and get out there and see for ourselves. We do some off trail bushwacking, swimming in the cold mountain water, and even climb to the summit of a mountain on this trip. Check it out!

Thank You ! This is one of the most beautifully composed videos of the Superstition Mountains that I've seen! I camped there several times as a teenager and have taken friends there and hiked to Weaver's Needle with my wife. Your video is just amazing. Wish that it was much, much longer. Can't wait to see more. Kudos.
This sounds a little outlandish. But several years ago I was camping in this area and a large orb came between me, and the full moon, then proceeded to light the desert up like a lightbulb. Has anybody else heard or seen something like this in this area? Thx
I’ve lived just a few miles from the superstitions my whole life and I’ve hiked probably 90% of the trails, never really noticed anything haunted or creepy about the mountains.
That's because there isn't anything haunted or creepy about them but the stories are fun to read/listen to while you're out there 😂
Night hiking is so much fun . Don’t forget the thermal and night vision scopes!
Had a run in with a ghost while hiking the loop around Weavers. My old roommate and I were on the far end and ran into a gentleman wearing jeans, ancient hiking boots and nothing else. All he said was, “water.” He didn’t look ok. So, we got him to follow my buddy with me hiking behind. Following the trail, we turned at a boulder and my friend loudly asked, “where’d that guy go??!!!?” We looked everywhere for the next hour or two, he was nowhere to be found.
We really enjoy your videos as we are now too old to do this ourselves, but we did some of this 25 years ago and this brings back many happy memories. ❤️😊
Thanks! We really appreciate it!
@@middleofwherever7157 You were a smart man to bring a gun on that trip. I was about to say, for me to go through the superstition mountains, I would never go alone, and most importantly, I would never go without my 454 Casull. And I am a man that fears nothing. But a fearless man can still have enough sense to have means of protection. Because you don't know what could happen. Not even in the wilderness, but in the suburbs I have seen mysterious things.
Excellent video!! The Killer Mountains, by " Kurt Gentry " between that book and all the other stories Apaches, Spanish, Dutchman gold hunters, UFOs, Hauntings, etc...I would carry a weapon also, but then everywhere I hike in AZ, I carry because of mountain lions and other 2 and 4 legged predators, better safe than sorry...
Spent many miles on trail and many nights in various locations in there. Can confirm, haunted AF.
Come on man don't leave us hanging. Tell a story!. Hear is mine . I'm a normal guy house mortgage wife kids the works . Sceptic . My oldest sister is ...... a someone.. about . 8 million in assets.. that's important because this event was enough for her to drop expected public face .. both of us extremely experienced backpacking hikers. Hiking near Aztec peak about 15 miles north east as the crow from that peek coming out of a box canyon helping my sister up a rock as she stood up she said what is that . ? We looked about 50 feet away was something on the other side of the small box canyon where we had crossed. We where off trail the whole way btw. Was something behind a tree about 6 feet up with black fur and white v shape fur on it . . We thought a mule deer. Or a grazing cow. . I wanted to get closer so I tryed it ran...... . When it ran the upper body swaying left going right and right going left....took us a confused moment to realize... deer ,cows. Ext there center of gravity is about 1 and a half foot off the ground. Thay dont sway with there weight above 3 feet .... the movement was completely impossible. For anything we have ever encountered . We have been stalked by a mountain lion. Ran face to face with a bear. Met the Coatimundis . . My sister couldn't even bring herself together saying that doesn't make sense. I saw it but it doesn't seem real. She insisted we hike about 20 miles out of the way to not go back that way . We talked about it trying to explain it is entirely possible it was a person dressed up trying to make a sighting . Or a Apache from the rez dressed up messing with us. I'm not saying it was bigfoot . i am a sceptic so I believe it was a person. Because if it wasn't. Than it was not a human. . After that she only will say . It was weird and . Nothing else. I still remember the moment as if it was yesterday. .. but that's my story ! Only idfk moment in my adventures. Let's hear it man!
Yeah tell us!
Nova 2006 i experiences something like that in my country bud mine was different because it happen at my house, we live little bit in a remote area so couple house over there and there so there is now street light and dirt road so pretty dark area, one night i was sitting out side listening to music about 1:00 am i notice a figure of person standing in the dark out side my property , i was looking at it and it was strange because its was moving up and down behind the rock wall that we have as fence, like someone is trying to crouch and then stand again, so i yelled hey who is there and that thing kinda crouch again like hide behind fence and only his head was sticking out, now i thought was my cousin who live close to me who was trying to scare me , so i yelled again telling my cousin i now is you come out and stop messing around , bud that thing was still there so stand up walk to it and thinking is my cousin messing with me bud it was my biggest mistake i have done ,soon i was getting close suddenly that thing stand up so tall like over 2.5 meters and i could look at it better this time it was just a black figure no face no skin nothing just black figure of a person , my hair stood all my body i had chills running all over my body i was in fear, and started to backing away and suddenly that thing came true the fence and drop down and turn in to dark cloud and came straight at me and i just turn run jump the fence behind my house run not even looking back, i run so hard without realizing that i was running away from my home in the dark, and when stop to see if that thing still followed me , and I realize was standing on the dirt road in the dark away from my home now I started to panic more and more and saying to my self how the hell i going back were that thing just chase me i could see shit because it was dark and i when to far from my house so i run to my cousin house and told them what happen to me, what ever that thing was not human, i never believed in ghost an demons things like that bud after that i was never the same it change me and i know now that there are supernatural things that exist. Some people tell me it could be demons or bad spirit, bud till this day i know what i saw and it was not human, so Nova i think maybe you guys saw a spirit or demon that day.
@@observarealidad3768 wow it real not feces gas?
When I first hiked the Supersitians there was plane wreckage on the face of the mountain. A military pilot that didn't quite make it. we hiked to the edge of the " flat Iron " and would toast the sunset with Tequila. many other hikes through out the mountains were quite amazing. sometimes we heard strange noises at night, the closer to the " Needle " the stranger they were.
Ahh , to be young and viral again .
Theres an amazing amount of hidden treasure in that part of Az but it isnt Gold. It looks like you guys found it!
AWESOME im part of groups that hunt the petrified/permineralized remains of giants and creatures from footage like this...you were alllll over them and got several good shots of them if you didnt realize it from perspective...saved a cple good stillframes of it..i can outline and send if want
Could you post some timestamps? Would be interesting to take a look at those.
This was really a great video I had an amazing time watching it. It’s one of the rare videos that you find at night randomly and it isn’t loud and over the top with effects or editing and it’s a nice story into someone’s life A+
Awesome and beautiful video! I'm glad you guys gave these mountains a positive spin. So many negative stories out there about the Lost Dutchman's Mine and Indians/missing people. But you're right, carry protection and be prepared. Great photos btw!!
Great vid guys. These mountains are so special and the history is astounding. I hiked some trails on my own in 2002. Oldtimer Englishman from Shropshire reliving some past adventures with you.
A big like just because you’re using a Lumix and you’re exploring my state. I’m using an S1 and love these cameras like I love AZ. By the way, the superstition Mountains are part of a super volcano. Only one of five on the planet. This was confirmed in my geology studies at Arizona State. It’s incredible and not many people know this but it’s true.
Beautiful images, discerning eye, and appreciation for all that natural beauty. Thank you. I’m too old to do this myself now, and seeing your video is a wonderful thing. ❤ Happy trails!
January 11th, is the day I got out of jail after 277 in Towers, and Durango Jails in Phoenix. You did a wonderful job showing an area I have loved for years, thank you.
Finally a well made hiking video!!! Thank you.
Very well done. Good eye on an amazing area which I doubt I could ever see myself in the same way. Thank you for sharing the experience through your lens.
Thank you! We really appreciate it!
Great gnarly summit video on that algae-covered rock! Thank you!! So beautiful!!
So sick, guys!! Wish I could experience this place.
Thanks bro!
I lived in Arizona, 1965-70.
USAF, WAFB.
The last year in Apache Junction, next to the wilderness.
Wonderful Mountain, met 3 different "spirit " beings.
Read about Indian legends, if they were there 500 years before me, figured it wasn't personal. Lol.
Beautiful photography/videography
Amazing area! One of these days when I get back to AZ I may have to check this out
Lived nearby. I love the superstition mts. So majestic and massive! ❤
Great video. Thanks. I think ill go visit this soon
This is a fantastic video! We are headed to the superstitions next month. I know y'all did a lot of off trail, but did you start on a named trail? The views were amazing, and your video portrayed it perfectly. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! The trailhead we started at is called Boulder Canyon Trail. There’s parking right across the street at the Canyon Lake Marina!
Damn dudes, super well done.. Looks like I got another item in the bucket list.
Very nice video. Beautiful canyons. Great camerawork. ✌️
Thank you! We really appreciate it!
Really cool 😎 thanks for the trip.
Beautiful 😍
You made a great video! Lovely videography
cool video and cool story telling. i just moved to phoenix and this is on my list
I came here via your Scamp (future owner over here) and saw much more awesomeness. This channel will grow well. You seem like some awesome peeps.
Thank you! We really appreciate it!
Amazing looking mountains. Really rugged peaks.
They really are some epic mountains!
Awesome vid. Great photos too. Where did you start from please? We plan on doing a backpacking trip there this Feb. thanks.
If by haunted you mean haunted by tourists, then yes. Haunted. 😂
The front country for sure. But the backcountry is has plenty of opportunities for solitude! As far as the mountains being haunted, there’s endless stories about it. But in the end, they’re just mountains.
Middle of Wherever bullshit. that place is much more than just mountains.
That was really good!
Pretty cool vid guys!
Thanks!
Beautiful video work.
Stunning place.
Excellent video!
Gorgeous Trek
What's it like camping out there, you all ever get any weird feelings, or uneasiness, being out there? I've heard all of the so called ghost stories
Next trip, take a pan to dry pan (can use as plate to eat-save weight/space), At 7:40 mark you are in the Mtn's w/ lots of gold, that trail looks like story where fellow sat down to rest next to big nugget but could not find way back for more, typ. story in Superstitions ... good luck ... like your vids
Nice!
Thank you
Great work. Belgium
wow! loved it! What time of year did you go?
views are incredible
You really need to buy a drone bro, you can scout areas and decide whether or not it's worth your time, and I honestly think you will find things that have been missed by others.
I am in Toronto Canada and I think over the next few months I am going to drive down to the canyon but after watching this I may have to hit AZ also
Must have gone in the winter or spring with all that water in LaBarge. Normally, it is only dry washes. I live out in the area and have hiked many many miles in the Supes.
Excellent:)
What trail did you guys do??? Amazing video!!!
Hiked this a long time ago. Friend found a cave and went in by himself while the rest of us napped. He never came out. We went in to find him but our flashlight batteries died and we never did find him. Now a missing person case.
I’m about this
Thanks Brocton!
this isn't just hiking, it's mountain climbing :)
From what I see the superstition mountains are beautiful
Hey, what route did you take? I am hoping to go here next week, wondering what some good ideas are. :) thanks
Nice photography.
I've lived in the area for more than 20 years. No longer hike the areas I used to. It's grand and rugged scenery and terrain. However, the majority of the stories are simply silly fables passed down from prospectors, bar flies, and local lore to attract tourists.
If you look at the landscape, you can see it’s jagged and really wild and unlike other areas of the Arizona desert landscape. There are many beautiful places to hike in the Southwest. Why go to an area where weather can change any second and so much death/beheadings have happened and many disturbed spirits dwell? Some may split thru the cracks but your definitely asking for it by going to these places.
Did day hikes in the supes for years. Gonna get back if its the last thing I do.
I hiked there with my 7 year boy last year.
It was amazing!
Don't worry I was trying to keep up with HIM.. lol
2:38 Wish I could give 10 more likes.... That Sicilian Pistachio Gelato is out of this world super good and tasty!!!!! 😋
What trail head did you guys start out on
was there any weather changes?
Brave to sleep there. Restless sleep for good reason
Nice lumix g9 videos
Show more Kate videos.
What trail was this called?
I was at peace there
i wouldn't go there unless it was a group of people imagine 2 people alone in this massive area
Where did you park? Or where does the trail begin?
The trailhead is next to the Canyon Lake Marina.
The places you go, you should take a drone
nice vid! plz name the song at 4:30 :)
Went this year 3 day er in......see ya next year Sus....
well hinterkaifecks corpses were decap´d? !? no fight reaction - injury thö v v
i hope one day ill go there... schrobenhausen. crazy-ville? ? augsburg. eyeburgh ? münchen boca juniors ??
kholat rock looks like molten? ? giant? jet engine ?
Are there rattlesnakes there? Awesome vid btw and hi from Australia 🇦🇺
For me I stay away anywhere that is haunted
Hi . Are you still guys hicking . I didn't seen any new videos, also would you guys go again to the superstition mountains but after the hidden treasures, I am looking for an honest loyal company, I am really a spiritual Healer but interested in the free spirit life an adventure through nature. Thank you
Everywhere has a sinister past if you look deep enough.
But hey..
Drama and fear mongering is effective.
That’s why we made this video. To make the point that the this mountain range is just like any other.
I would definitely be packing a couple of hand guns in this part to much can go wrong
I've lived in arizona all my adult life, camped 4x4 hiked All over superstition mountain never ever seen heard nothing, I call bull shit!!!!
I'd heard lots of creepy , scary things about the superstition mountains ? Btw, you're wife is hot dude , no disrespect meant.
Haunted😂
The Superstitions are as rugged as they are stunning and beautiful but in no way haunted.
Don't forget your 4-inch .357 revolver, Guys - Self Defense is not a crime - especially when walking on this notorious realm!
