Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Plant Hike

Spend the morning outside to learn all about plants of the Sonoran Desert during this guided hike with Ranger Olivia.  

 Enjoy a guided nature hike along one of our trails to see all the beauty the desert plants have to offer. We will be along a portion of the Goldmine trail which is mostly flat with some uneven/rocky surfaces so please wear closed-toed shoes. We will do an out and back of about 2 miles. Bring any questions you have about the plants that reside in the desert. Restrooms and water are available at the Nature Center, but please be sure to bring plenty of water.

PLEASE NOTE: Outdoor summer programs may be canceled on short notice due to severe weather, including extreme heat events. The Maricopa County Parks website (www.maricopa.gov/parks) is the most accurate resource for verifying the program’s current status. Please check the program listing online or call the Nature Center before coming to the park.
