Look for nocturnal Sonoran Desert wildlife with Ranger Steve on this easy 1.5 mile after-dark hike on the Merkle Trail! Species seen on past hikes have included snakes, lizards, spiders, owls, bobcats, coyotes, and more! Although the trails listed are easy, there still may be sections of rocky and/or uneven terrain. Restrooms are available at our meeting location, but please bring your own water. Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes. Other helpful items to bring include a flashlight and/or UV light if you have one. Please, no pets.
MEETING LOCATION: We’ll be meeting near the restrooms at Area 6. Please refer to the park map: https://www.maricopacountyparks.net/assets/1/6/usery-8×14-Jan-2021.pdf
