Hey, everyone. Once again, I miscalculated the distance of the hike. However, this time, there was a map at the start that told me Fremont Saddle was 2 miles away.  That was the only information the park would provide. At Sunrise, there were plenty of signs to update me on how close I was to reaching the peak. Peralta came down to trusting other hikers and trail app tracker. There's no official sign but I realized that's happened at 2 other peaks. No big deal. The trail keeps going most likely to Weaver's Needle. I swear I couldn't tell you the difference between a saddle and peak. I simply know I made it to the top and back down. I loved looking at the different rock formations. People were very nice on the trail. Very caring and encouraging. Beware, fellow hikers. About 12% of the trail had horse excrement on it. Besides that, fairly borderline tough trail but worth trying. Volunteer park Rangers hiked it and unlike other parks, they took accountability to a new level. A booklet was placed out front for hiker to fill out with time they started which ever hike and time returned so they knew the hikers returned safely. No other trail I visited had this system in place. Oh, boy! Do I ramble. I thank Jeff and this website for spotlighting these wonderful trails/peaks in Arizona and the southern region; thus, making the conditions easier for everyone during the winter. Best wishes to all of you participating in AZ Winter Sixpack.
