Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Scorpion Safari
December 7, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Free with Park Fee
Come join Ranger Kevin as we hike roughly 2 miles on the Black Rock Loop trail. We will be looking for all three kinds of scorpion native to our neck of the Sonoran Desert: Striped-tail, Bark, and, of course, the Giant Desert Hairy. Who knows what else we may see? Trails are rated easy, with very little loose rock, uneven terrain or elevation change. Be sure to wear sturdy closed-toe shoes, bring plenty of water, and a flashlight (UV/black light optional). Restrooms are available near the trailhead. NO pets, please.
MEETING LOCATION: Area 4 parking lot.
Limit 20 participants. To register, please call the Nature Center at (602) 506-2930 ext. 4 with your name, phone number and number of people attending. If you find you cannot attend a program after you have registered, please call the Nature Center ASAP so we may contact those on the waiting list. Registration for this program will close on 12/5/23.
