Superstition Mountain was so named be.
cause of the great fear with which it was
regarded by the Pima and Maricopa Indians
who told gruesome tales of attacks by
Apaches who lurked on the heights and
swooped down from this stronghold visiting
death and torture upon the peace-loving
desert tribes.
Legend has it that a mysterious little old
man, Snowbeard, the Dutchman, came trudg-
ing down from the mountain heavily laden
with gold nuggets and died before divulging
the whereabouts of his fabulous find.
Each year in early Spring the Dons' Club
of Phoenix, as host to hundreds of winter
visitors, conducts a trek into the Super-
stitions and enacts the stories of the region.
