Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Creatures of the Night Hike

Join Ranger Kevin for an evening of fun and adventure as we set off in search of desert wildlife. Enjoy a roughly two-mile evening hike on the Wild Burro trail. We’ll be on the lookout for all kinds of evening-active critters, from skunks to scorpions, spiders, snakes, fox, coyote, deer, owls and more! The trail is rated easy-moderate with some rocky, uneven surfaces and some elevation change. Water and restrooms are available at the trailhead. Please bring plenty of water and wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes. Bring flashlights; black UV lights are optional. MEETING LOCATION: Wild Burro Day Use Area Limit 12 participants.
