We spent our days hiking this high desert landscape of craggy peaks, saguaro cacti and sagebrush, and perennial blue skies, while at night, we’d gather around the campfire, sharing tall tales, ghost stories, and a local legend or two. One evening, under the stars, someone brought up the Lost Dutchman Mine.
