Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Full Moon Walk
August 28 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Free with Park Fee
Ranger Olivia will lead you on an evening walk to enjoy a peaceful evening in the desert as the full moon rises. We will also keep an eye and ear out for any creatures that may be stirring, such as owls, coyotes, rodents and more. This is an out and back hike of approximately 2 miles total distance along the Escondido trail. The terrain is mostly level but there are some uneven portions with small to medium rocks underfoot. Wear closed-toe shoes and plenty of water (flashlight/blacklight optional). No pets, please. Restrooms are available at the Trailhead.
PLEASE NOTE: Outdoor summer programs may be canceled on short notice due to severe weather, including extreme heat events.

MEETING LOCATION: Four Peaks Staging Area. Be aware that it will take an ADDITIONAL 5-10 minutes to get to the meeting location AFTER entering the park’s entry booth.
