Come along for a hike amongst the towering saguaros and giant chainfruit cholla cacti of Usery Mountain park. We’ll keep an eye open for birds, insects, mammals and reptiles while enjoying a beautiful desert evening. This is a family-friendly hike of about two miles on trails rated easy, meaning little in the way of loose rock, uneven terrain and elevation change. Please wear sturdy, close-toed shoes and bring plenty of water. Restrooms and water are available near the trailhead. NO pets, please.
