Superstition reviews
Exceptional for the extremesSubmitted on 13 November 2007 by snowedunder from Monza, Italy
We've hiked the Peralta Trail on several occasions both pre and post kids. The 6.2-mile hike to Fremont Saddle offers exceptional views of Weavers Needle. While the hike is tough going for younger children - kids that are too big to be carried in a child carrier and to small to walk a long distance on a steep, rocky trail - it is ideal for parents carrying infants and toddlers in a front or back pack and families traveling with older kids that like to hike. Wear hats and sunscreen, pack snacks, carry plenty of water and avoid hiking at mid-day. Was this review helpful?
