Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Scorpion Safari

June 29, 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Free with Park Fee
Join Ranger Derik on a hike after dark where you can Explore the Sonoran Desert and hunt for scorpions along the way.  

Hike sections of the Baseline and Gila trails for 2.3 miles. This trail is rated as moderate so expect a few uphill sections as well as trail that can be rocky and loose at times. Even though we will be hiking in the evening it will still be hot you are encouraged to bring 2 liters of water as well as a flashlight that has extra batteries. There is a water fountain and bathrooms at the nature center but not at the Gila Trailhead so please plan accordingly. If you have blacklight please bring it along and help us search for scorpions.

MEETING LOCATION: Nature Center
