Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Creatures of the Night

Ranger Shaun is returning to this morning’s trail for another hike. Come join him, or even better RE-join him! See how different the desert can be in the dark as we look along the trail for nocturnal animals and strain our ears for the sounds of distant nightlife. We’ll be exploring the Metate trail as it wanders along the riverbank, crossing the river a couple times then heads back along a part of the San Tan trail. Overall, the trip will cover just over 2 miles. Flashlights, blacklights, and plenty of water, perhaps even a snack, are recommended. No pets please. Port-a-potty style restrooms will be available near the trail head, but there is no water available in the park, please come prepared.

MEETING LOCATION: Picnic tables near the restrooms
