Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Morning Cactus Hike

November 6, 2024 @ 8:00 am - 10:30 am

Free with Park Fee
Join Ranger Derik on a slow-paced hike through the foothills of the White Tank Mountains to learn about the many cactus species that call the park home.  

The hike is rated as easy and will cover 2 miles out and back along the South trail gaining roughly 200 ft of elevation in the process. The trails can be rocky and loose in a few spots so make sure you have good hiking boots or trail runners and if mobility is an issue, hiking poles are strongly encouraged. Bathrooms can be found at the trailhead but there is no access to water unless you continue down the road to the Goat Camp trailhead where there is a spigot.

MEETING LOCATION: Area 1 South trailhead on Black Canyon Rd

Limit 25 participants. To register, please call the Nature Center at (602) 506-2930 ext. 5 with your name, phone number and number of people attending.
