Sunrise is looking forward to this year’s Annual Sunrise 3D Shootout, July 2nd through July 5th. It is the biggest archery event west of the Mississippi! There is a fun shoot as well as a competitive shoot and it is open to all genders and all ages as long as they can shoot a bow. And as always, there will be a barbecue and fireworks on the 4th. Complete details and registration can be found at their “Eventbrite” link on their website at www.sunriseskipark.com. They also have a “vendor/sponsor Eventbrite” link for anyone who’s interested.

They still host the only lift-served mountain bike trail system in Arizona! They made some big improvements on the trails last summer and are planning a lot more this year because…they are getting ready for two major mountain bike races at the end of the summer season (see calendar). 

By the way…Ever tried riding an E-Bike? This may be the year!

The 5-line Zip Line Adventure will take your breath away! Fly through the trees from the top of the mountains back to ground-level base and experience gravitational pull at some incredible speeds. Once you are back to base, you can either walk down the steps to the ground or get a real thrill by jumping off the top while attached to a bungee. Then, either climb the rock wall on the side or walk back up the steps to jump off the variably high platforms onto an airbag.

They also have a Super slide (tubing) and a bungee trampoline.

Want to kind of take it easy? Check out the scenic lift rides, play disc golf, hike, fish or kayak or participate in other lake activities. Sunrise General Store can set you up with fishing permits and Sunrise Hotel is handling all camping permits for the campground (dry camping only) and RV park (electric only). 

So, when will they open? Well, it’s kind of up in the air right now. Keep checking their website at SunriseSkiPark.com or follow them on Facebook where they will keep you posted.
