Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Junior Ranger Family Hike
December 27, 2025 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Free with Park Fee
Looking for something to do with the kids over winter break? You found it!
Join Ranger Kevin for this 1.3-mile hike on the Black Rock Loop trail. Prior to the hike, we’ll talk about the Junior Ranger program, set up every young person with their own activity book, and then we’ll actually do some of the activities together on our hike as a way to get a head start on becoming an official Junior Ranger! The hike is generally easy with little loose rock, uneven terrain and elevation change. Please wear closed-toe shoes and bring water. Hats and sunscreen are recommended. Restrooms and water are available at the trailhead. Please, NO pets.
MEETING LOCATION: Black Rock Loop Trailhead (Area 4)
