Peoria Regional Preserve West Wing Mountains

This beautiful set of mountains located in Peoria, AZ are easily accessed off of Lake Pleasant and West Wing Parkways. The West Wing Mountain Trail takes you up and around the three mountains that make up this section of the reserve. From the trailhead to summit is 300ft of elevation change and makes for a short and sweet hike.

This hike is family and pet-friendly without the crowds of some of the more popular City of Phoenix parks. The trails are well maintained and there appeared to be little to no erosion off the trails which was great to see. The geology and flora of the area is typical for the Sonoran Desert region. Throughout the hike you are afforded lovely views of the city of Phoenix and surrounding mountains/desert.
