I hiked the Weaver's Needle Loop with some co-workers in connection with a fundraiser that our company is sponsoring. We hiked in a clockwise direction from the Peralta TH.

It was a gorgeous day with plenty of water along this route. There was a slight breeze early, increasing to occasional gusts in the afternoon. In spite of the fabulous weather, we saw just three other hikers on the day, all of them along the connecting portion of the Dutchman trail.

Vegetation is pretty thick along the sections directly east and west of the Needle. Along the east side, you have to burrow through some sections of the trail, much to the dismay of one of my bare legged co-workers. I was out here a few weeks ago and left a blood trail myself, so I let everyone know beforehand to prepare accordingly. They were warned!

In spite of a couple of rough sections, we all had a good time on a great day for a good cause.
