Tag: Fremont Saddle

Never hiked this trail before, so wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into. Overall trail was rough, primitive, with multiple water crossings, and beautiful…

Simple Hike with special views. I can definitely see why this is a tourist attraction.

Nice hike with great weather!

Heard the creek the whole first mile. Started late 1:30 pm, so 80% of the time I was in the shade, I did get a…

I have daydreamed about being able to hike in the Superstitions since I can remember! It has always been my dream hiking destination. I came…

Easy incline

First time in the sups and i already can’t wait to come back. Gorgeous day, fairly easy hike 🙂

Kick ass hike as always.  Loved hike with 2 beautiful ladies.  Weather was perfect and went early to avoid the crowd.

Good weather. Not a lot of people on trail, but did start early

Been a while since i’ve done one of my fav trails. It was a beautiful morning, the sunrise in the canyon never disappoints. Peak 1…

We did the Carney to Cave trail loop. We found Robbers Roost, made it to Fremont Saddle and finished down bluff to Peralta trailhead. The…

Less people than I expected from the AllTrails reports. Dirt road had areas of washout, but still passable for all cars except low clearance cars…

Road out to the trailhead was a little rutted from all the rain, but still easily passable. Got a late start so it was pretty warm,…

3 down, 3 to go!! Halfway through our challenge we decided to tackle Fremont Saddle via Peralta Trail. The views were to die for, the weather…

We started around 7:45am at the Carney springs TH, slowly but surely made our way to the saddle then veered off to the right to…

So….I was with a teenager….nough said?🤣🤣

From all the rain this past week, the trail was more like a creek and the surrounding rocks hovering over you were flowing waterfalls. The…

Beautiful day for the hike.  Cool and slightly overcast.  Views were amazing at every elevation change.

Trail was in great condition.  Some running water but nothing that hindered our hike. It actually added a new twist we’ve not encountered.  The views…

Nice views and pleasant hike

We were able to drag my parents along on this one.  Their reaction?  No more 2.2 mile moderate trails for me! It was a beautiful…

Great weather and great hike for the day before turkey and tryptophan smack down.

Trail was great, some loose rock but I hiked it with my 5yr old daughter who made it up no problem. There are a few…

I got to the trailhead at 8:00 am. Very chilly at 38 degrees. Nice forest service volunteer asked me where I was headed and gave…

Good conditions. Trail was not busy at all.  The water was running.

So extremely sad & disappointed. Was unable to finish due to my extreme fear of heights. Went as far at my mind would take me.…

2nd hike of the day. First time here. Started bit later than we wanted. But after picacho early this am… And the drive. We are…

Such a pretty trail with natural springs flowing out of the hills.  The views are amazing.

Absolutlely LOVE the Superstitions! They are a magical place.  Great weather this afternoon – was still hot in the sun, but there is plenty of…

Absolutely gorgeous Veteran’s Day Hike. Started at 7am so the temps were cool and beautiful (59 degrees) and not many folks were on the trail…

Wonderful hike. It was my first time in the Superstitions and the views are spectacular. Hiked in the late afternoon so it was warm, roughly…

Beautiful day, rain was in forecast but didn’t happen.  There was a light wind and the  sky was full of rapidly moving clouds, very dramatic!

Number 6 of 6! Check mate! I did it!!!! Completed @sixpackofpeaksarizona Summer & Winter & also Socal@sixpackofpeaks Very proud of myself! Nevada, Utah & Colorado…

Picked up about 1lb of litter on the way back. The Peralta trailhead does not provide garbage disposal, so it is very important to pack…

My sister and I completed this hike together. We’ve hiked Peralta many times (one of our favorites!), so we decided to try something different and…

Second toughest hike behind Flatiron. There were a lot of butterflies but also a lot of knats and bees. I went on a Thursday morning…

This was a pleasant hike. There are many things to see along the way. Trail is easy to follow. When you reach the saddle you…

My last peak for the Six Pack of Peaks Challenge left me flying high. The sun cast beautiful shadows on the timeless rocks of the…

Wonderful family Easter hike! Seemed short after hiking Wasson Peak yesterday. The drive in takes longer than you might expect as the dirt road is…

Scariest moment out hiking. I also stepped on a rattle snake. Hike was beautiful. Nice breeze this morning!!

I started my hike at 10am which is a bit later than I would normally care to start especially on a warm Arizona day like…

Nice hike and nice weather.

While this was perhaps the easiest of the six pack of peaks for the Arizona Winter Challenge, it was arguably the most beautiful. Various wildflowers…

Fremont Saddle: What a babe.  The dirt road to the trailhead is a bit bumpy, but the scenery is incredible.  Sahuaros sprawl across the desert…

What a fun adventure! Driving on the dirt road shortly after sunrise in my Nissan was the start of my adventure. When I arrived, there…

Fremont Saddle, based on the write-up seemed anticlimactic since I didn’t do the peaks in order having done the infamous Flatiron as my third peak.…

Perfect Day for a hike in the Superstitions.  This hike was so beautiful and heart pumping…I walked by a Rattle Snake, I was a wee…

Quick trip up Peralta to Fremont Saddle (and then to the Lone Pine, because you’ve already come this far, right?) during the week with minimal…

Amazing wildflowers, hiked further to the lone pine tree with a perfect view of tom’s thumb.

Awesome hike out to the lone pine tree.

This hike was much different and interesting the entire way up to the saddle. I enjoyed the lush, dense bush and trees along the way,…

Day 2 Peak #4 of our weekend challenge

Good weather and a nice hike for dogs.

Peralta Trailhead to Fremont Saddle to Weaver’s Needle, back to Fremont Saddle to Lone Tree and Lone Saguaro Overlook, back to Peralta Trailhead.    Wildflowers…

This was by far one of my favorites so far of the Arizona six pack.  After traveling about 3 miles on a dirt road we…

Nice Sunday Morning Hike. Not sure if Picacho Peak desensitized me (still haven’t done Flatiron) or it was a change of pace. Once again we…

My hiking buddy, Stacy and I had done Picacho Peak the day before so our legs and upper body were a bit tired and sore.…

Perfect morning for a hike. Trail conditions were great. Trail became fairly crowded as we were finishing so it is definitely best to arrive early.…

Drive in on dirt road to Peralta trailhead. Once we got the Fremont Saddle we continued to the Lone Tree. A great day!

The main route up to Fremont saddle was pretty easy with lots of hikers, so we visited the “lone piñon “ and took the cave…

Started and finished in the dark. Didn’t see anyone else on the trail. I don’t get spooked hiking alone at night often, but this one…

This is the stuff day hikes are made of. We started early and had the trail mostly to ourselves. The water runoff made it cool…

The desert was so green!  First time on this trail and I will be back.  It was pretty awesome to hit the saddle and see…

One of my favorites!! Great Hike, beautiful trail with some foliage, rocks, water, desert. A good challenge but not difficult. Lots of people out today…

Another great hike.  I found this one to be one of the easier ones since it is a rather gradual incline, but still a good…

Beautiful morning hike. Was nice to see and hear flowing water from the melted snow. Made me forget I was in AZ.

This was my first time hiking to Fremont Saddle. It was beautiful and might be my new favorite. The weather was beautiful and the desert…

Wow!  The Superstitions are so green!  Lots of water right now on this trail.  It is going to be a great wildflower season!  Completed with…

Great trail conditions, the sun was covered by light clouds for half of the hike. Not too many people, pretty easy trail.

I enjoyed the hike and I got to see and do some cool things .

We arrived from San Diego to the trailhead at 10:30 a.m. Trail was easy to find and after just over an hour we reached the…
