There are tons of hidden waterfalls in Arizona, but few are as remote as Reavis Falls. Nestled deep in the mysterious Superstition Wilderness, this 196-foot natural wonder isn’t easy to get to. It takes a nearly 13-mile hike with an elevation gain of over 3,000 feet – but if you’re up for the challenge, you won’t be disappointed.
If you love waterfall hikes but aren’t a fan of the crowds, Reavis Falls Trail will be right up your alley.
