Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Full Moon Hike

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 a hike of approximately 2 miles total distance starting along the River Ramble trail, where we will connect onto the Lykes Lookout trail to climb a 100-foot elevation gain to see the full moon in its full light. The terrain is mostly level but the climb to the top of Lykes Lookout is a steep increase with small to medium rocks underfoot. Wear closed-toe shoes and plenty of water (flashlight/blacklight optional). No pets, please. Restrooms and water are available in the parking lot outside the Visitor Center.
