Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Creatures of the Night Hike

Join Ranger Kevin for an exciting evening hike along the Spur Cross and Dragonfly Loop trails. We’ll be on the lookout for all kinds of evening-active critters, from skunks to scorpions, spiders, snakes, fox, coyote, deer, owls and more! The trail is rated easy-moderate with some rocky, uneven surfaces and some elevation change. Please bring water and wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes. Bring flashlights and black lights if you have them; some of each may be available to borrow.  MEETING LOCATION: The Spur Cross Trailhead, which can be found past the entry station, near the Portapotties and picnic tables.

Please note: Entry to Spur Cross Conservation Area is $3 per person. Cash only is accepted. If entry station is closed, please place your money in the payment box at the gate.
