Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Morning Desert Edibles Hike

Hike the Dragonfly Trail with Ranger Derik to learn about the many plants that can be eaten in the desert and about the native peoples that first harvested them.  

We will hike 2 miles on the Dragonfly Trail starting at Jewel of the Creek Trailhead. The trail is rated as easy and will have sandy, rocky, and uneven sections so please wear proper footwear and if you need them trekking poles are not a bad idea. Make sure to bring water on the hike as well as a snack. Bathrooms are available within the park but there is no water in the park so please plan ahead.

MEETING LOCATION: Jewel of the Creek trailhead Limit 20 participants.

To register, please call Cave Creek Regional Park at 602-506-2930 ext.#8 with your name, phone number and number of people attending. If you find you cannot attend a program after you have registered, please call back ASAP so those on the waiting list may be contacted. Registration for this program will close on 5/16/24
