Confirmed from Sunrise Park & Trailhead'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.
What runners say about Sunrise Park & Trailhead
“I didn't go through the whole trail because I biked out there from Renton but it is a beautiful area!”
This is one of my favorite places to walk my dog. It’s shaded most of the way, paved road, and connects to the i90 trail. You cross a bridge at the beginning and then it’s a gradual uphill climb. Walkers, bicyclists and runners use this trail.
This is a very beautiful place 🙂 It's an easy trail to walk. I took my young kids with me & we had an amazingly awesome time 😎 ♥
It's nice the trail is short but connects to others making it a nice option
The trail is good for walking or cycling. There are no animals on the trail but I did encounter a snake. There is a lot of noise on the trail from the freeway right next to it.
