Dromedary Peak and Sunrise Peak are prominent peaks along the Wasatch Range. Sunrise is also known as O’Sullivan Peak and labeled as such on most maps. These two are usually visited together because they are so close in distance. The terrain here is rugged and adventurous. There are several approaches and this route is the most popular and begins at the Broads Fork trailhead up Big Cottonwood Canyon. The first few miles follow a well-defined trail to some picturesque meadows and a small pond. Once you reach the boulder field there is a lot of scrambling, exposed terrain, steep slopes and basic climbing moves to reach the summit. You should not have to attempt anything more difficult than a class 4 move, if proper route finding is done. Once you reach the saddle and ridge you will drop into the Little Cottonwood side to bypass a difficult climb. Bring a helmet, ice axe and crampons for winter and spring ascents. This area is prone for avalanches so be smart.
