Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Full Moon Hike

Due to an interesting but exceptionally common astronomical phenomenon, the Moon is up before the Sun is down today and Ranger Shaun would like to share it with you! So come take advantage of this and watch the sunset over the mountains out in the desert on Blackrock Trail then enjoy an hour and a half of desert twilight hiking, which is the best kind, with Ranger Shaun!

Closed toed shoes, water bottles, and flashlights required. Blackrock trail is an easy rated 1.3-mile loop. There are restrooms and water available at the trailhead. No pets please.

MEETING LOCATION: Area 4, Blackrock trailhead
