Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Creatures of the Night Walk

January 11, 2024 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Free with Park Fee
Enjoy an after-hours prowl of the Preserve trails with Ranger Steve to look for scorpions and other nocturnal animals!  

Join Ranger Steve for an easy trail walk to look for and learn about the nocturnal critters of the Preserve! Wildlife seen on past walks have included bats, ringtails, foxes, skunks, javelinas, deer, owls, scorpions, insects, and other cool creepy crawlies! Please bring your own flashlights and blacklights if you have them, but some will be available to borrow. Please dress in layers and wear sturdy footwear and carry ample water. Trails are rated as easy and are mostly flat, but there may be some uneven or sandy surfaces. We will hike about 1-1.5 miles roundtrip.

MEETING LOCATION: Visitor Center

Limit 10 participants. To register, please call the Visitor Center at 602-506-2930 ext. 9 with your name, phone number and number attending. If you find you cannot attend a program after you have registered, please call the Visitor Center ASAP so we may contact those on the waiting list. This program is all ages but might not be suitable for toddlers or young children due to their perception of the darkness and hiking length.
