Join us at 5:30 AM in the second parking lot near the bathrooms to begin our climb, or meet us at the top of Piestewa Peak! Sunrise is estimated at 7:30 AM.

Embrace the ancient Japanese tradition of welcoming the first sunrise to celebrate the New Year! Lets have a great start to 2026 together!

一年の計は元旦にあり

(Ichinen no kei wa gantan ni ari)

"A year is shaped by how it begins."

This Japanese saying reminds us to start the New Year with clear intentions and purpose.
