Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Desert 101 Hike

Join Ranger Derik on a morning hike through the foothills of the White Tank mountains and learn about the many plants and animals that call the desert home.  

The hike will cover 3.5 miles on sections of the Grey Fox, Ironwood, and Ford Canyon trails. This hike is rated as moderate due to the several inclines over the course of the hike. Plan to walk on rocky and sandy trail it is encouraged that you wear supportive shoes and if inclines or declines are an issue for you take along some trekking poles. Water and bathrooms are not available at the trailhead so please plan ahead.

MEETING LOCATION: Grey Fox trailhead
