Freemont Saddle via Peralta Trail / Weavers Needle Hike

This is a popular iconic Arizona hike. We are hiking up the Peralta trail to the saddle then over to the view point to see Weavers Needle. The hike is up hill all the way with an immediate 1340 ft gain. If you have injuries you may want to sit this one out.
