Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Edible Plants Hike

October 17, 2024 @ 8:30 am - 11:30 am

Free with Park Fee
Spend the morning hiking through the desert with Ranger Jacque and learn about the many medicinal and edible plants that can be found in your own backyard. 

Participants will hike for 3 miles through rolling hills and sandy washes on the North Loop trail. The trail is rated as easy and only has a few spots that could be described as rocky. Ranger Jacque will talk about the native edible and medicinal plants that are found along the trail. All plants are subject to seasonal changes so we cannot determine what plants will be fruiting. The trailhead is a couple miles past the ranger station and has no bathroom or water fountain so please make sure to plan ahead and allow time to arrive at the trailhead.

MEETING LOCATION: North Loop Trailhead

Limit 15 participants. To register, please call the Nature Center at (602) 506-2930 ext. 3 with your name, phone number and number of people attending. If you find you cannot attend a program after you have registered, please call the Nature Center ASAP so we may contact those on the waiting list. Registration for this program will close on 10/15/24.
