will riding my ATV in the desert near GC, i stumbled across the trailhead to Peralta trail. I spoke with some hikers coming off the hike and the woman told me it was in the top 10 hikes in the world???

any pictures, comments or thoughts on this trail. ?

Top 10 hikes in the world? Not quite, but it's a decent hike. Had they said top 10 most commonly hiked trails in the world then it'd be a little more true. It does offer good views and since it is so popular it is well marked and easy to follow, and does lead to some pretty good views at the end. I'd mark it down as one of those hikes that you have to do, just to say you've done it before

Don't tell anyone, but the Dutchman or Bluff Springs trail (right there as well) are far more enjoyable, at least to me. Or make a loop. I really like looping all the way around weaver's needle via Bluffsprings, Terrapin and Peralta.
