🌄 The Best Sunrise Spots in Arizona — and the Perfect Cup to Go With It

Updated: 4 days ago

Every day brings new opportunity and positivity — and if you’re lucky enough to wake up in Arizona, the day becomes even more beautiful.


Known for its captivating landscapes, Arizona offers some of the most stunning sunrises in the world. The desert’s golden light and dramatic skies are best enjoyed with a hot cup of coffee in hand.

Whether you’re a local or a visitor, here are some must-see sunrise spots across the state. Grab your favorite Zona Coffee Company blend and hit the trail:




☕ Airport Mesa (Sedona)


For postcard-perfect views, head to Airport Mesa.

You’ll get panoramic sights of Courthouse Butte and Bell Rock, framed by Sedona’s signature red rocks. A short hike is available for those feeling active, or you can sip coffee from your car’s tailgate at a scenic pullout.


☕ Doe Mountain (Sedona)


Craving a 360-degree sunrise view? Doe Mountain is your spot.

A quick 450-foot hike rewards you with sweeping vistas and a kaleidoscope of yellow, pink, and orange hues. Bring a thermos — it’s the perfect perch to enjoy your brew above Sedona’s skyline.


☕ Sugarloaf Trail (Sedona)


A short hike from the Little Elf trailhead takes you to this lesser-known gem.

Catch the sunrise, then linger over your coffee while exploring nearby cliffs — including Devil’s Kitchen.


☕ Camelback Mountain (Phoenix)


Near Phoenix? Tackle Camelback Mountain for a sunrise worth the climb.

Cooler morning temps and a 360-degree view await at the summit. Don’t forget your Zona Coffee Phoenix Blend to sip while admiring the Valley of the Sun.


☕ Mather & Yaki Points (Grand Canyon)


Front-row seats to the canyon’s magic.

Take the orange shuttle to Mather Point for iconic views (though it can be crowded), or opt for Yaki Point for a quieter, more intimate experience. Either way, your coffee will taste better with that view.


☕ The View Hotel (Monument Valley)


Staying at The View Hotel? You’re in for an unforgettable sunrise from your private balcony.

Watch the sun rise behind Monument Valley’s rock formations — and yes, bring your Zona Coffee Company to complete the moment. Not staying overnight? The Tribal Park Visitor Center also offers a fantastic vantage point.


☕ Saguaro National Park (East District, Tucson)


In Tucson, head to Saguaro National Park to greet the sun among towering cacti.

The park opens at 7 AM, but sunrise can be seen from roadside pullouts and vistas. Brew a fresh cup and watch as light spills over the mountains and iconic saguaros.


☕ The Peaks Tower (Flagstaff)


For a high-elevation sunrise, visit The Peaks Tower in Flagstaff.

You’ll enjoy crisp mountain air, breathtaking sunrise views — and even sights of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon on clear days. Perfect spot to savor a Zona Coffee Flagstaff Blend.


☀ Final Sip


Arizona’s sunrises are unmatched. Whether you’re scaling a peak or parked at a scenic overlook, a great sunrise always pairs well with a great cup of coffee.


So stock up on your favorite Zona Coffee, set that alarm early, and get ready to welcome the day — Arizona style.


Happy sunrise sipping! 🌅☕
