Second hike of the day. I headed across Lake Pleasant Parkway to West Wing Parkway. My plan is to hike Sunrise Mountain which I had heard of and seen the trail from Happy Valley.
The reviews say that it is a popular trail. I had trouble finding the trailhead, All Trails review gave a hint for the trailhead. I ended up parking in the school parking lot and the trailhead was right there.
If you go during the week you can not park their but today is Sunday.
Fun hike. Not much to say. Nice trail, Nice neighborhood. It was a good workout. There is definitely elevation change that gets your heart pumping. If I was in the area I would do this again. There were very few people on this trail. It was mid day on a Sunday and there is a Cardinals game but I saw a couple family and a few solo hikers. That's it!!
Enjoy the pictures!
