This is the most popular trail in the Superstitions because of its climactic view of Weaver’s Needle from Fremont Saddle.

The view southeast from Geronimo Cave.

Farther up the trail, Geronimo Cave comes into view on the right along a line of yellow volcanic tuff. The trail ascends away from the streambed and up a series of switchbacks directed through layers of multicolored volcanic tuff, ash, and agglomerate. Various shades of purple, buff, orange, pink, brown, and cream permeate the landscape. Much of the trail is now on bedrock.

This is a good spot for sitting and looking out over Peralta Canyon and part of Coffee Flat Valley. The vertical “people” rocks on the western canyon edge come into prominent view. A “one-eyed monster” lurks along the trail.

More pastel colored bedrock leads you past the monster and on to Fremont Saddle. Here we are greeted with a spectacular view of Weaver’s Needle. This is where we stopped for lunch. We returned along an alternative, the Cave Trail, back to the trailhead.
