Gear up for some morning exercise peppered with fun facts about our Sonoran Desert and maybe even some wildlife sightings near and far. We will trek on Horseshoe, Dysart, and Toothaker Trails to make a 6.2-mile loop. The terrain is moderately rated with uneven surfaces and small to medium rocks underfoot. Hiking poles are helpful. Wear closed-toe shoes, a hat and sunscreen. Bring snacks, two to three liters of water and electrolytes. Restrooms and a water fountain are available at the Nature Center on your way to the Trailhead.
