Here we have a demanding run to Sunrise Peak through classic Sonoran Desert scenery, passing saguaro cacti and rock formations. The climb is steady and the summit rewards you with wide views. Begin at Lost Dog Wash Trailhead, which has parking. Plan around the heat, since warm months make the course much harder, and start early.
