Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Saguaros in Sunset

Ranger Olivia leads this picturesque hike to watch the sun set while also learning about saguaros along the way. We will see the sunset, saguaros, and maybe some evening critters as well. You may bring your blacklight and regular flashlight to look for evening critters(optional). This hike will begin on a portion of Overton trail that will connect onto a small segment of Go John trail and will then connect to Clay Mine to create a 2-mile loop. The terrain is rated easy-moderate and ranges from even and smooth with small to medium rocks underfoot. Wear closed-toe shoes and bring plenty of water. Restrooms and water will be available at the Nature Center near the Trailhead.

PLEASE NOTE: Outdoor summer programs may be canceled on short notice due to severe weather, including extreme heat events.
