The hike will be 3 miles in length on the Quail, Rainbow Valley, and Saddle trails gaining 300ft of elevation. Hikers should bring plenty of water, sunscreen, a flashlight with a full charge or new batteries. Cell phone light will not cut it and the lights tend to run down phone batteries quickly. Water and bathrooms can be found at the nature center. Please note that the nature will be closed so make sure you bring a water bottle with you.
PLEASE NOTE: Outdoor summer programs may be canceled on short notice due to severe weather, including extreme heat events. The Maricopa County Parks website (www.maricopa.gov/parks) is the most accurate resource for verifying the program’s current status. Please check the program listing online or call the Nature Center before coming to the park.
