Hike Profile: sunrise peak


This hike is in the McDowell Mountains, near the Scottsdale/Fountain Hills border, AZ. I really must say that they have done a WONDERFUL job with the trail construction in the McDowell's. The trails are great, the signage is helpful, and there are a variety of loops to create by linking the trails.....my hat is off to you. Anyway, this particular hike is located where Via Linda dead-ends into a gated community. It's about 4 miles round trip, and gains right around 1000 feet. The views from the top, as usual, are great. You get a great vantage point of the Superstitions, and the Four Peaks area. It's definitely a trail worth checking out.
