Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Desert Ecosystem Hike

Venture out this morning onto the moderate rated Black Rock Trail for an approximately 1-mile hike in the relative cool. We’ll be on the lookout for birds and mammals, often active at this time, as well as reptiles getting warmed up in the morning sun. Restrooms and water will be available at the trailhead, but not along the trail. Water bottles and closed toed shoes are required. Sunscreen and wide brimmed hats are recommended. Please bring whatever hiking gear you need to feel comfortable; this is an all-ages hike. Well behaved pets welcome, but please be sure to bring a water bowl and enough water for your non-human friends as well.
