West Wing Mountain
About
West Wing Mountain is a summit in Arizona, about 5 miles from Peoria. Several trails start close by, so it is easy to fit into a short outing from town. The most comfortable time to visit runs from late fall through early spring. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show highs around 65°F in January and 75°F in March. Summer is far hotter, with typical highs above 100°F from June through August. The station sits about 477 feet below the summit, so conditions up top run a little cooler. The Westwing Mountain Trail lies just 0.3 miles away. Ridgeline and the New River Trail are both within a mile. Climbers can head to Ice Castles, about 3 miles off.
