Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Desert 101 Hike
November 16, 2023 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
Free with Park Fee
Join Ranger Eric for a guided hike to learn about the animals, plants, and ecology of the Sonoran Desert. We will hike 1.2 miles roundtrip on the Lousely Hill Trail. It will be on moderate grade, with some sandy, rocky, or uneven ground. The hike will take about an hour, but it may go a bit over as we stop frequently to look at plants or animals. Please wear protective clothing and/or sunscreen, wear sturdy footwear, and carry ample water, electrolytes, and snacks for yourself. Restrooms are available near the trailhead parking.
MEETING LOCATION: Lousely Hill Trailhead. See park map here:https://www.maricopacountyparks.net/assets/1/6/mcdowell-8×11.pdf
