Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Desert 101 Hike

Join Ranger Eric for a guided hike to learn about the animals, plants, and ecology of the Sonoran Desert. We will hike 3.5 miles roundtrip on moderate grade, with frequently rocky or uneven ground, as we do a loop of the Slate, Jasper, Go John (partial), and Quartz Trails. Please wear sturdy footwear and sun protection, and carry ample water, electrolytes, and snacks for yourself. Restrooms are available at the Slate Trailhead parking.
