Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Saguaros in Sunset
August 12 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Free with Park Fee
Ranger Olivia leads this picturesque hike to watch the sunset while also learning about saguaros along the way. We will see the sunset, saguaros, saguaro blossoms, and maybe some evening critters as well. You may bring your blacklight and regular flashlight to look for evening critters(optional). This hike will be about 1 mile starting on the Slate trail, where the terrain is mostly flat but is rocky and uneven in spots (and a slight hill on the beginning), and then we will move onto the Jasper trail, and finally loop on to the Go John trail. Wear closed-toe shoes and bring plenty of water. Restrooms and water are available at the trailhead but be sure to bring plenty of water with you!
