"I probably should have downloaded a gps"....story of my life. Another great video, man. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have found Robber's Roost after watching this. But when I try it again, now I've got a resource. Thanks!
Lol! Man, ain’t that the truth! I told Laura it was just going to be a few miles. Ooops. Her legs were so worked, by the time we got to bluff springs, she looked like a baby horse trying to walk!
The first time I did the Cave Trail it kicked my ass. The cairns were hard to follow and a lot more difficult than I thought, but it’s definitely become one of my favorites.
Great, glad they are useful! I try to show the trail in all these videos, so people can get a sense of what they are getting into. Always makes me feel better to see an area beforehand.
This is awesome, thank you! Visiting Peralta Canyon with some friends when I head to Arizona in two months; your videos have really made me a lot more interested. This looks like an awesome area.
@@MoonJuiceHikes Yeah. My buddy who hikes all over the place in the area said we might have to do it as a night hike to not melt, in which case we probably won't be quite so adventurous with alternate trails and the like. But either way, I'm looking forward to it. I appreciate what you're doing here = )
Glad I found your channel! I’m planning this hike for some out of towners that are coming in with the purpose of hiking the Supes! I am looking forward to it! Thanks again man.. You and Jerry make the best vids! Hope to run into you on a trail!
Glad it’s helpful! FYI, as you get within a few hundred yards from Cobra Head rock, there are Cairns peeling off to the right, up and over a saddle. While you can get to the Roost, it’s sort of like walking the long way around the house to enter the back door. When you see Cairns going up and over the saddle, look to your left, there are also cairns on the actual trail too. I often see people with their phones in their hand coming around from the backside totally confused after incorrectly following the wrong cairns. 👍
@@MoonJuiceHikes awesome thank you! Is there enough space for a couple 1 man tents there? It seems like it would be less windy than Lone Pine or on the saddle.
@@theochamberlain6765 Oh yeah, plenty of room Theo. I mean, I wouldn’t try to camp directly in the Roost, unless you get there very late in the afternoon. There’s not much room and you’re going to have other hikers coming in all afternoon. It’d be weird. Check out my Icon Loop video. I’m approaching the roost from the opposite direction (Ridgeline), but it shows where good flat spots are near the Roost. I walk to the roost from the camping area, which is cairned. Should make it clear as day where you can camp. Have fun man!
Great advice, thanks again Breven. You are The Guru of the Supes at our house. Your videos are required watching/recon before all of our trips. I saw your Icon loop video and will check out the spots by the Roost. Also, your 60 miler out to the West end was epic. All that backtracking for shots is appreciated. Keep up the good work my man!
Hi there, new subscriber here. Love your videos and content. I'm 62, not in shape, and live about 20 miles from the Superstitions. What would be the easiest 1-2 mike out, then back trails that would get me started in late October or November just to get my feet wet? Thank you for your content.
Hey Pat! I’d recommend downloading a free hiking app like AllTrails. This will really help find trails with the length and difficulty you’re looking for. In the Supes, check out the Treasure Loop (park for free at Jacob’s Crosscut). Also, the Hieroglyphics trail is a good short hike. When you’re ready for a little elevation gain, the Wave Cave and then Peralta Canyon. One step at a time my friend, you’ll be surprised how quickly you’ll improve. Happy trails!
Those rocks are just above Freemont Saddle, not sure if that keyhole has a name or not, but the whole area is amazing. Weavers Needle is right there. 👍
I just got home from a 3-1/2 day hike on the Highline Trail (55 miles). I’ll include captions for you when I edit that video. Glad you’re enjoying them!
Hey Will! When I got home and started uploading the footage, I realized that the Roost segment was missing. I guess I didn’t actually hit record! The good news is, the Superstition Icon Loop video I shot includes the Robbers Roost. Check it out!

Thanks for the reply! I appreciate it
That's a bit different from wet and windy north Lancashire, England. Best wishes to you and your channel.

June? Ohhhh…. That heat really changes things!

@@fourthwallproductions8695 Right on, it’s awesome out there in the Supes. Sounds like your buddy knows what’s up. Have a good trip!
Great video. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to seeing it first hand.
It’s a really good hike, look forward to seeing it again too (soon as it cools down a bit!)
@MoonJuiceHikes Definitely. For the moment, my hikes are limited to the high Sierras. Much cooler and there's still some snow at the 9,000'+ level.
Glad I found your channel! I’m planning this hike for some out of towners that are coming in with the purpose of hiking the Supes! I am looking forward to it! Thanks again man.. You and Jerry make the best vids! Hope to run into you on a trail!
Thanks Chris! Good choice on this route, its a perfect hike for out of towners for that impressive scenery that only the Supes can deliver...have fun!
Searching RUclips trying to find the Right Way to Robbers Roost and sure enough, Moonjuice has it-plus Geronimo. Thank you Sir!

@@theochamberlain6765 😂 thanks man. Glad these videos are helpful.
Great video brother, gorgeous area as well. Thanks for sharing. Tom
Thanks Tom! Get out there if you can, totally worth the effort!
Mark my words... or your words, actually... everyone will now start calling it "cobra head rock". Thanks for the helpful video.
I wish I had seen this sooner! I went up there last month and couldn't find the cave.
I couldn’t find it the first time either! The AllTrails map confused me. Next time you’ll be good to go!
@@MoonJuiceHikes yes, thanks to your video!

9:50 Beautiful peaks! What's the keyhole in the background?
Those rocks are just above Freemont Saddle, not sure if that keyhole has a name or not, but the whole area is amazing. Weavers Needle is right there. 👍
liked, sub'd ,black bell'd and thanks for caring to include captioning, am deaf.

Did you pass the "bath tub" on the downside of cave trail?
I have no idea what the "bath tub" is, but if its on the cave trail, then I suppose I passed it without knowing. What is it?
@@MoonJuiceHikes I've heard it referred to as the basin. It's a hole in the rock floor of the trail carved by runoff. To me it looks like a bath tub.
@@tman5219 Interesting, I'll take a closer look next time. Thanks!
May thru September, too unbearable hot to go hiking. Don't kid yourself,
Hot tip. Pan more slowly. It will greatly improve your videos. Otherwise Thank you.
Thanks for the tip!
why so little cave time and no lights, hike in heat all that way not one minute in cave, boo!!!
