The Peralta trail to the Freemont Saddle is a popular trail in the Superstition mountains near Gold Canyon, AZ. The trail is 4.9 miles out and back with an elevation gain of 1380'. Paul and I hiked this trail on a cold and overcast day near the end of December 2013. We passed many other hikers. At the top there is a great view of Weaver's Needle. Vegetation starts out lush and thick at the bottom and thins out near the top. Saguaro cacti are everywhere and there are many wonderful rock formations.
