Summary

Description
English: This is the view looking northeast at Miner's Needle from the Bluff Spring Trail. This area figures prominently in the legends of gold in the Supes. The Lost Dutchman's Mine is thought to be near here.

I hiked the Charleyboy Duece Loop - the hike shown as Charlebois Loop II in "Hiker's Guide to the Superstition Wilderness" by Jack Stewart and Liz Carlson.

From Wikipedia: "The Superstition Mountains, popularly referred to as "The Superstitions" or "The Supes", are a range of mountains in Arizona located to the east of the Phoenix metropolitan area. They are anchored by Superstition Mountain, a large mountain that is a popular recreation destination for residents of the Phoenix, Arizona area.

The mountain range is in the federally-designated Superstition Wilderness Area, and includes a variety of natural features in addition to the mountain that is its namesake. Weaver's Needle, a prominent landmark and rock climbing destination set behind and to the east of Superstition Mountain, is a tall erosional remnant [1] that plays a significant role in the legend of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine. Peralta Canyon, on the northeast side of Superstition Mountain, contains a popular trail that leads up to Freemont Saddle, which provides a very picturesque view of Weaver's Needle. Miner's Needle is another prominent formation in the wilderness and a popular hiking destination."
