Peralta Trail #102 to Fremont Saddle, Phoenix

trip report by site editor Rick McCharles

I had a half day free to hike. Not sure where to go, I drove up to Peralta trailhead close to Mesa, AZ. Of the many options from the trailhead, this looked best to me.

  • Level: Easy/ Moderate
  • Length: 5 miles
  • Elevation: approx 1300 ft. gain
  • Type: Out and Back

It was a beautiful day climbing up and along a creek. Here’s the vista on one side.

At the Fremont Saddle kids were scrambling the boulders. Moms tried to avert their eyes.

The most spectacular feature on the other side … Weaver’s Needle. Some people climb it.
