Weavers Needle
Weavers Needle is a 1,000-foot-high column of rock that forms a distinctive peak visible for many miles around. Located in the Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix, Arizona, Weavers Needle was created when a thick layer of tuff —a volcanic plug—was heavily eroded, creating the spire as an erosional remnant with a summit elevation of 4,555 feet.
