QUARTZ PEAK – Elevation 4,052′ (1,235 m)
One of the highest points in the Sierra Estrella Wilderness, Quartz Peak offers spectacular views from atop a unique summit block made of white quartz. This challenging trail has beautiful vistas of the Rainbow Valley as it climbs a rugged ridge from the valley floor to the crest of the Sierra Estrella.
The road conditions to Quartz peak have deteriorated and we only recommend attempting this summit if you have a high clearance vehicle and off-roading experience. Check recent hike logs for more information from fellow challengers.
