Nestled away in the foothills of the McDowell Mountains, Sunrise Peak offers incredible 360 views out across the magnificent Arizona Valley.
As the name suggests, it’s a super spot for watching the sunrise (or sunset!) over the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, but you’ll have a blast whatever time of day you visit.
The there-and-back trail carves through the Sonoran Desert, before taking you up to the saddle of the mountain.
The last section is quite steep, so you’ll definitely earn those summit panoramas. It’s a four-mile round trip so can be enjoyed by anyone of moderate fitness.
