Weavers Needle and Peralta Canyon at Sunset, Superstition Wilderness, Arizona

Weavers Needle, a distinctive 4,555-foot (1,388-meter) spire in the Superstition Wilderness in Arizona, is turned golden by the setting sun. Weavers Needle is made up of heavily-eroded fused volcanic ash, called tuff, and is a prominent and distictive peak that's visible for miles. It played a significant role in the stories of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine, with its shadow supposedly pointing toward to golden treasure. Peralta Canyon, a popular hiking destination in the Tonto National Forest, is visible at the base of Weavers Needle.
