Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Desert 101 Hike

Join Ranger Eric for a 3.7-mile hike along a loop of Littleleaf, Gold Mine, San Tan, and Moonlight trails while we learn about the plants, animals, and ecology of the Sonoran Desert. Early spring wildflowers may be in bloom, depending on how much winter precipitation the area gets. Please dress in layers, wear sturdy footwear and sun protection, and carry ample water. The hike should take 2-2.5 hours to complete. Restrooms are available at the Nature Center where we will meet.
