Peralta Trail #102 is a 12.4-mile out-and-back hiking route located in Arizona. The trail features 1,164 feet of elevation gain, making it a moderately challenging day hike suitable for hikers with some experience. The out-and-back format allows hikers to turn around at any point and return via the same route, providing flexibility for those wanting to adjust their distance or intensity. The gradual elevation gain is distributed across the full distance, creating a steady climb rather than steep sections. This trail offers a full-day adventure for those aiming to complete the entire distance, though partial hikes are equally viable given the out-and-back design. Hikers should prepare for exposed sections and bring adequate water, as desert conditions are typical for Arizona trails. The terrain and scenery characteristic of Arizona's landscape provide a direct connection to the region's natural environment. This trail appeals to intermediate hikers seeking a substantial workout with manageable technical difficulty.
