Our Needle Vista location has some of the most impressive scenery of all our orienteering event sites. With views of Weaver's Needle and the Flatiron, both in the Superstition Mountains, you'll want to bring a camera to capture different views of the scenery. The area is great for orienteering with lots of re-entrants, narrow canyons, and rugged terrain. Be sure to bring sturdy shoes and pants or gaiters to cover your legs. The vegetation here can get thick.
