The trail leads to Quartz Peak in 3.0 miles starting from Rainbow Valley. The main trail does not extend to the summit. The final 0.25 miles is a scramble over boulders and rocks that require careful footing. From the summit one is treated with a clear view of rugged mountain ranges, the desert plains and east Phoenix.
