The main avian highlights here are Gray Jay and Pine Grosbeak, both species with very limited range in Arizona. Look for other high-elevation species as well, particularly Dusky Grouse and American Three-Toed Woodpecker.

Sunrise Campground is managed by Sunrise Park Resort. After 4 miles on 273, make a right (south) turn to the direction of Sunrise Ski Area.  Sunrise Campground will then be a quick left turn to the east after this turnoff.  The road to the campground is a dirt road, and it is .4 mile long before reaching the campground.  This campground is situated at 9,400' and is full of spruce-fir and aspen forest.  Walk the loops of the campground and on trails just outside of the campground in nearby meadows for the best results.
