The hike will combine sections of the Black Rock and Waterfall trails covering just under 4 miles and gaining 330ft of elevation gain. The trail is mostly smooth gravel/ sand except for the final section leading to the waterfall. Along the way there will be stops to talk about cacti, the desert trees, annual flowers, and seeds. Also covered in the hike will be how these plant species are used by the local fauna.
