Description Suggest change

A spectacular series of spires high on the ridgeline near the summit of Eagletail Peak. Typical low-desert conditions for the Sonoran Desert- the approach faces south so it's a winter-only destination.

Getting There Suggest change

Exit I-10 at exit 51 (Harquala Road). Follow the paved road south, then work west on Courthouse Road. From there head southeast then south, aiming for the south side of the peak. A sign leads to the trailhead for the Eagletail Wilderness. The approach starts from a locked gate. (Greg Opland's Phoenix Rock II has a more detailed description for the approach with a detailed map).
