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 2 miles starting on the on part of the Wild Burro trail, where the terrain is mostly flat but is rocky and uneven in spots. Restrooms and water are available at the trailhead but be sure to bring plenty of water with you!
