Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Sunrise Hike

Join Ranger Nikki on a 4.5-mile easy to moderate hike at sunrise to enjoy the sights and sounds of the morning desert.

We will watch for birds, mammals and reptiles as the sun rises and the day warms up. We might also see nocturnal creatures finishing their business and settling down for their rest time. The route follows San Tan, Hedgehog and Moonlight Trails, which vary from smooth and level to uneven with small to medium rocks underfoot with up to 100-feet of elevation changes. Wear closed-toe shoes and bring a hat, sunscreen, snacks and plenty of water. Restrooms and water are available at the Nature Center.
