A wash can be a pretty interesting place, especially when you go with a Ranger!

Join Ranger Shaun and learn about what washes are, how they’re formed, and why their important to their ecosystems as we walk parts of Pemberton and Granite trail before dropping into Stoneman’s Wash for the majority our return trip. Along the wash we’ll slow down to look for plants, animals, and the signs left behind by both and to take a chance to examine some of the adaptations we discussed on the way in. Please wear comfortable closed toed shoes, bring plenty of water, and dress in layers as the temperature can vary over the course of several hours in the desert, especially nearing sunset. No please pets, this is a 4.2-mile hike on medium and difficult rated trails.
