Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Scorpion Safari

Join Ranger Kevin for an evening of adventure as we set off in search of scorpions. This is a 3.1-mile hike along the Coldwater, Butterfield and Dysart trails. We’ll be seeking out the three main types of scorpions native to our region. At the same time, we’ll keep our eyes open for other desert critters that may be around. The trail is rated easy-moderate with some loose rock, uneven surfaces and elevation change. Please bring plenty of water and wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes. Bring flashlights; black UV lights are optional. NO pets, please. MEETING LOCATION: Coldwater trailhead Limit 20 participants. To register, please call the Nature Center at (602) 506-2930 ext. 6. 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 7/11.     Free with Park Fee
