Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Evening Hike
August 16, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Free with Park Fee
Join Ranger Kevin for a relaxing evening stroll through the Sonoran Desert.
Come along for a hike amongst the towering saguaros and giant chainfruit cholla cacti of Usery Mountain park. We’ll keep an eye open for birds, insects, mammals and reptiles while enjoying a beautiful desert evening. This is a family-friendly hike of about two miles on trails rated easy, meaning little in the way of loose rock, uneven terrain and elevation change. Please wear sturdy, close-toed shoes and bring plenty of water. Restrooms and water are available near the trailhead. NO pets, please.
