Waterfalls are hiding in every little-known nook and cranny here in Arizona, and oftentimes, finding them takes some seriously hard work. If you’re up for the challenge, Reavis Falls Trail leads to one of the tallest waterfalls our state has to offer – and the seclusion makes it even more magical.
The little-known Reavis Falls Trail will take you deeper into the Superstition Wilderness than you’ve ever gone before…if you’re up for the challenge, that is.

You’re in for a fair amount of rock scrambling as you ascend the rugged Lime Mountain cliffside, but it’s entirely doable with the right footwear.
AllTrails/Shawn Gipson The good news is that the trail remains pretty flat for the first 3.5 miles, so make sure you really take in the scenery before things kick into high gear.
Upon reaching the summit, you’ll enjoy breathtaking panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountain peaks.

Several creek crossings await you, but that’s nothing compared to the waterfront vistas seen from the peak.

All your hard work will pay off as soon as you lay eyes on the falls.
AllTrails/Mark Sunman This amazing natural wonder towers at nearly 200 feet high. That’s almost taller than Havasu and Mooney combined!
Year-round, the powerful cascade spills into a crystal-clear reservoir below and promises to leave you awestruck.
