Easy parking but fills quickly in season so need to use overflow lot which is short distance away.
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.
