Paradise

Paradise Trail is located in the Eastern Superstition Wilderness and presents a loop opportunity when combined with Haunted Canyon Trail #203 if users don't mind hiking a section of road back. Most users will shuttle though, leaving a vehicle at the top part of Haunted Canyon trail where it comes out at Forest Road 287A avoiding a roughly 4-mile hike on a road to close a loop.
