Distance: 5.2 Miles out and backElevation Gain: 1340 FeetTime: 3 hours round trip45 min. from Mesa, AZBeautiful rock formations and a stunning view of Weaver's NeedleGreat hike for all skill levels
This is a stunning hike in the superstition wilderness great for all skill types. The trailhead starts off in the parking lot at the end of highway 77. It begins rather level but after the first mile the elevation begins to increase. The trail leads you through the beautiful Peralta Canyon up around the south face landing you with a gorgeous view of Weaver's Needle, a 4,553 foot spire that towers over the landscape. Opportunities to explore the different rock formations and thick vegetation are abundant along this trail. This is a very popular trail, so try to avoid weekend outings.
