Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Scorpion Safari

Explore the desert at night with Ranger Derik and hunt for scorpions and other nocturnal species that call the Sonoran Desert home.  

We will hike 3 miles out and back on the rainbow valley trail starting from the Trailhead Staging Area. The trail is rated as moderate 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 and a flashlight with fresh batteries or extra batteries (cellphone lights don’t count). Bathrooms and water are available at the trailhead.

MEETING LOCATION: Trailhead Staging Area Rainbow Valley Trailhead
