Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Desert 101 Hike

Join Ranger Olivia on this hike for a chance to learn the basics of the Sonoran Desert and answer any burning questions you might have. 

Enjoy a moderate to easy hike along Blevins trail with stunning views of both the desert and surrounding mountains. Whether you are an expert or a novice on the desert, this hike is perfect for learning something new! This hike will be an out and back hike that is about 3 miles on mostly flat terrain with some uneven/rocky areas. Please wear close-toed shoes and bring plenty of water! There is a restroom at the trailhead.

For those wanting to kick-off the start of the 100 Miles in 100 Days Challenge today (Nov. 1-Feb. 8), this hike is a great way to work towards your goal! For more information about the challenge, visit https://www.maricopacountyparks.net/things-to-do/activity/100-miles-in-100-days-challenge/
