Confirmed from Sonoran Mountain Ranch Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

“This is a wonderful, mid-sized desert-suburban park, right at the edge of some preserved state land, and adjacent to the East Wing trailhead, a gorgeous, 2.”

This is a wonderful, mid-sized desert-suburban park, right at the edge of some preserved state land, and adjacent to the East Wing trailhead, a gorgeous, 2.4 mile round-trip hike. The western edge of the park empties out onto state land, with mostly flat, dirt trails. Very scenic.

Didn't do too much here; it's the trailhead and parking area for the East Wing Mountain Preserve. Make sure you use the water fountain to fill up your water. :)

★★★★☆ — A-A-Ron , Apr 2017

Very nice little park with a playground, restrooms, water, and access to the Eastwing Mountain Trail.

★★★★★ — Apex , May 2021

Great family park. Trail head, playground, bathroom, and tables. Sometimes very busy but families that frequent here are friendly.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
