Temptation Peak is located in the Goldfield Mountains north of Apache Junction. The hike and climb to the 3,195 foot summit of Temptation Peak was 3.9 miles round-trip and took me 5 hours and 26 minutes. First, it was a 1.4 mile hike to the Bulldog Saddle which took 44 minutes, and from there I headed east up to Ironwood Ridge. Then it was a little over a half mile to the summit. But this section of off-trail hiking and scrambling across loose rock took about 1 hour and 45 minutes. It took me 2 hours and 32 minutes to reach the summit from the trailhead. On the way down I took a more direct route to avoid most of the scree.
