Eagle Mountain Guidebook
Things to do in Arizona
This hike is located in the McDowell Mountain preserve area and features an easy to follow trail with clearly signed trail junctions through the Sonoran Desert. From the parking area take the signed Ringtail trail to the right, towards the McDowell Mountain Preserve. One nice thing about this trail is all the junctions are signed and the entire trail is easy to follow. This section leads through a nice Cholla cactus forest and after about 0.6 miles will reach the junction with the Sunrise trail (shown as Jct 1 on the map). Turn right onto the Sunrise trail which you'll be following all the way to Sunrise peak. It's a steady climb to the peak, but not steep (at least not here). Once in a while, turn around to enjoy the increasingly interesting views of Scottsdale,Camelback mountain, and Piestewa peak.

Eagle Mountain Golf Club is right in your back yard! You can even walk to the club house in about 10 minutes. It’s a popular public course in the Phoenix area with beautiful views of the desert and some forgiving bowl shaped fairways for those wayward drives! It’s a good idea to book a tee time ahead of time.
