Two New Mountain Trails for Peoria Hikers West Wing and Sunrise Mountain trails Offer Scenic Peoria Views
Peoria added about eight miles of trails recently when two new paths opened on West Wing and Sunrise mountains. The trails give residents access to several hundred acres of mountain open space deeded to the city by the developers of the West Wing community. A firm that specializes in mountain trails traced routes up and around the mountains to accommodate a variety hiking levels and age groups. The Sunrise Mountain trail loop is just over four miles and is perfect for beginners and intermediate hikers of all ages. The West Wing mountain trail is a three-and-a-half mile loop that is a bit steeper, and thus a little tougher.	Two new mountain trails open some of Peoria's mountain preserves to hikers, offering opportunities for great exercise and scenic views.
When combined with the one-and-a-half mile East Wing Mountain trail that opened in 2007, Peoria’s mountain trails provide enjoyable hikes for a variety of skill levels and ages. Parking for the West Wing and Sunrise Mountain trails is at West Wing Elementary School. Parking for the East Wing Mountain trail is at Sonoran Mountain Ranch Park.
