How often do you get to look down on Weaver’s Needle without being in a plane or balloon? On November 13 seven B Hikers did just this by completing one of the most difficult hikes in the valley, going from Hieroglyphic Canyon to the top of Superstition Peak (5,057 feet); the highest point in the Superstitions. This peak, first surveyed in 1899 (one of the earliest in Arizona), provided impressive 360 degree views on a clear, sunny day. The club conducts interesting hikes five days a week for almost every level of fitness; meetings are held in the Tuscany Ballroom on the third Thursday of the month. Visit the club’s website at pchikers.org for more information and pictures.
