Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Guided Reptile Hike
September 12, 2023 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Join Ranger Eric for a late afternoon hike along the Slate and Flume Trail to look for reptiles of the Sonoran Desert. Along the way, we will discuss identification tips, their ecological roles, and safety around venomous animals. We will hike about 3 miles roundtrip on easy to moderate grade, but occasionally rocky or uneven ground. Please wear protective clothing and/or sunscreen, wear sturdy footwear, and carry ample water, electrolytes, and snacks for yourself. The hike may be shortened or canceled if extreme heat is forecasted. Restrooms are available at the trailhead.
MEETING LOCATION: Slate Trailhead. See park map here: https://www.maricopacountyparks.net/assets/1/6/cave-creek-8×111.pdf
