Hike and Mountain Bike
The Sunrise Mountain Trail can be found within the suburban area of Peoria, Arizona; it is made of up 3 sequential loops; each loop harder than the last.
The trail is easy to find, as it starts from Westwing park, Peoria (where you can find restrooms annd water), then look for a large rock with map at the trailhead about 150 yds south of the parking lot.
Although this hike does have areas of leveled paths, it includes a significent level of incline and decline, however, there are plenty of spots to take breaks as needed. Along the trail you'll see gorgeous views of the cities of Glendale, Peoria, and Phoenix, as well as the surrounding mountains and desert vegetation.
In a few places along the way you'll experience forks in the trail, but regardless of the direction you choose you'll stay on the trail. It will be very clear if you've reached the end of a spur trail, as the trail will seem to disappear in front of you. Simply turn around to rejoin the main trail.Courtesy of hikingproject.com
Sunrise Mountain Trail is pet friendly. The trail is closed from sundown to sunrise.
