Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Intro to Desert Hiking

August 7, 2025 @ 8:00 am - 9:30 am

Free with Park Fee
Curious about how to stay safe hiking in the desert safely? If the answer is yes, then come out to the nature center and learn the tricks of the trade with Ranger Derik! 

This intro to hiking class will cover topics including what to pack, how to pick a trail, when to go, water, safety tips, and much more. The class will be an indoor classroom PowerPoint and finish with a hands-on look at what a ranger carries in their day pack. Feel free to ask questions and bring your own gear.
