Blatant POV edit

The sentences "It is important to remember that Squaw Peak and the area around it are open, undeveloped desert areas. Please use care" show a blatant human oriented POV, especially the "Please use care".

Rattlesnakes and other animals in the sonoran desert fauna need food too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.222.193.42 (talk) 20:35, 17 October 2008 (UTC)Reply


Blatant inaccuracy edit

The comment mentioning that most people do not make it up the hill is completely incorrect. Having hiked the summit trail over 2000 times over the last 15 years I can tell you from first hand experience greater than 75% of hikers go to the top. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.208.202.150 (talk) 05:25, 16 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Fixed, and added a longer hike time for beginners. 71.194.38.54 (talk) 08:33, 14 November 2009 (UTC)Larry SiegelReply

Images edit

I removed the pair of wide photos that were used in this article. To be sure they are "pretty" photos but cause a lot of awkward formatting in the article due to their unusual dimensions, and are not exactly pertinent to the article; a photograph of the mountain itself is needed, not pretty views from the peak. No objections if anyone wants to re-add one or both, but they should be located in an image gallery at the bottom rather than disrupting the format of the article text itself.

Who says? edit

Who says the hike takes 30-60 minutes? I and many people on the mountain do sub 30's on a regular basis. And there are some people who take over an hour. So is 30-60 minutes the first standard deviation from an average hiking time of 45 minutes? I think the article should be updated to reflect the fact that these are not precise estimates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.208.98.49 (talk) 17:47, 20 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
