Running into the Tonto National Forest, Hewitt Station traverses the southern edge of the Superstition Mountains. A section of private property cuts the road in half. The eastern portion of the trail is described here.
The trail is well-graded dirt that parallels a seldom-used railroad track. It deadends into private property with a small area to turn around. The trail connects to Mattie’s Grave, FR 8, and Hewith Station Bypass. Views of the imposing Picketpost Mountain dominated the southeastern skyline.
A large campsite sits along the eastern end of the track. The Arizona Trail hiking trailhead is large enough for additional camping.
