Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Plant Hike

Join Ranger Nikki to learn about plants that grow along the upper park trails and those that grow along lower areas along the creek. The route uses Spur Cross, Tortuga and Dragonfly trails and a short portion of roadway to return to the parking lot for a total of 4 miles. The terrain ranges from flat and even to rocky and uneven. Portable restrooms are available at the trailhead. Wear closed-toe shoes and bring water, a hat and sunscreen. Be sure to bring plenty of your own drinking water as none is available at the park. The entry fee for Spur Cross is $3 per person, cash only. Please have exact cash for the self-pay station or your annual pass.

MEETING LOCATION: Main trailhead, covered tables at map kiosk and restrooms.
