We’ll be on the lookout for all kinds of evening-active critters, from skunks to spiders, snakes, foxes, coyotes, deer, owls and of course scorpions! Bring flashlights; black UV lights are optional. We will be hiking along Escondido Wash for our safari! This trail is rated moderate, partially accounting for length, but we’re only doing about 1-mile, with most of the trail being sandy and some rocky/uneven parts. There are restrooms at the trailhead. Please no pets!
