Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Creatures of the Night Hike

Join Ranger Kevin as we seek out the plants and animals that live in this part of the Sonoran Desert. 

Come join Ranger Kevin as we hike 3.2 miles along Wild Burro Trail. Trail is rated easy, with some sections of loose, rocky terrain and some elevation change. We’ll be seeking a variety of desert animals that inhabit the night. Some animals we might see include deer, burros, owls, bats, skunks, javelina, fox, snakes and, of course, scorpions! Be sure to bring water, hiking shoes and a flashlight. You might also want to bring a UV light if you have one for finding scorpions. Restrooms are available at the Wild Burro Day Use Area. NO pets, please.
