Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Junior Ranger Family Hike

Looking for something to do with the kids over winter break? You found it! Join Ranger Kevin for this 1-mile hike on the Merkle trail. Prior to the hike, we’ll talk about the Junior Ranger program, set up every young person with their own activity book, and then we’ll actually do some of the activities together on our hike as a way to get a head start on becoming an official Junior Ranger! The hike is very easy and suitable for any child who can walk a mile on their own. Please wear closed-toe shoes and bring water. Hats and sunscreen are recommended. Restrooms are available at the trailhead. Please, NO pets. MEETING LOCATION: Merkle Trailhead (Area 6) Map of meeting location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/KZhg6kWZQc47k1Ca9 Limit 20 participants.

If you find you cannot attend a program after you have registered, please call the Nature Center ASAP so we may contact those on the waiting list. Registration for this program will close on 12/18.
