Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Creatures of the Night Hike

Head to Wild Burro trail for a late evening walk through the desert! We’ll use our flashlights and blacklights to search for scorpions, spiders, and other critters along the trail, enjoy the dark and quiet of the desert night, and maybe even catch a glimpse of some of our more elusive desert dwellers! This is a 2.0-mile hike on a trail rated moderately difficult. The trail may be slightly more difficult in the dark. Flashlights and blacklights encouraged. Please dress appropriately with closed toed shoes. Bring water to drink and any hiking equipment you need to feel comfortable. No pets please.

MEETING LOCATION: Wild Burro Day Use Area. Limit 10 participants.
