the hike     Peak 3004 is shaped like Mercedes-Benz®, a 3-pointed star with points to the east, west, and north. Walk a scenic loop around Peak 3004 from Meridian Trailhead, on the Bulldog Saddle trail, a horse trail, and the old and new Pass Mountain Trails. Be alert for wildlife as we enjoy remarkable views of the Bush Pediment, Lone Mountain, Temptation Peak, south Bulldog Ridge, and the mighty Superstitions.
See the map.
