Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Wildflower Walk

 Hike the scenic riparian forest of the Hassayampa River Preserve before scaling Lyke’s Lookout for a stunning view. Along the way, we’ll search for seasonal wildflowers and learn to identify them using color flower guides provided. It is also recommended to download the free iNaturalist app before coming to the park, and the ranger will help you identify desert life using the app. This is a 1.15-mile, moderate difficulty hike featuring a steep 90-foot ascent at the end. Please wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes, bring water, sunscreen, and remember to stay on the trail and take only pictures of the wildflowers. Restrooms and water fountains are available near the Visitor Center where we will meet. Hassayampa River Preserve does not allow pets.
