Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Scorpion Safari

June 6, 2025 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Free with Park Fee
Join Ranger Olivia on a hike to look for scorpions and other nocturnal creatures that call McDowell home.  

We will be looking for wildlife in the dark so make sure to pack flashlights and blacklights, if you have them, and make sure everything is charged or have extra batteries. We will be hiking along Shallmo Wash for our safari! Shallmo Wash is mainly sand/dirt and is rated easy with some rocky/uneven parts. There are restrooms at the trailhead. Please no pets!

PLEASE NOTE: Outdoor summer programs may be canceled on short notice due to severe weather, including extreme heat events. The Maricopa County Parks website (www.maricopa.gov/parks) is the most accurate resource for verifying the program’s current status. Please check the program listing online before coming to the park.

MEETING LOCATION: Shallmo Wash Trailhead at Four Peaks Staging Area.
