National Take a Hike Day is celebrated each year on November 17 in recognition of the National Trails System Act of 1968. This Act designated a series of scenic, historic and recreation trails in both backcountry and urban areas in an effort to provide outdoor opportunities for the public. Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department encourage you to connect with nature on a ranger-led hike, on this day or any day, to explore and learn about our beautiful Sonoran Desert. To ensure everyone can enjoy this nationally recognized day, the regular day-use entry fee for all of Maricopa County’s regional parks will be waived on November 17.
This hike will be along the Waddell trail that is has an easy rated terrain that is mostly even and smooth with some sections being slightly rocky with small to medium rocks underfoot. This hike will be an out and back of about 2-miles so please wear closed-toe shoes and bring plenty of water. Restrooms and water will be available at the Trailhead.
