Join Ranger Nikki for an early morning hike to watch the desert start the day. Click program title for more details.

 

Join Ranger Nikki on a 5.5-mile hike at sunrise to enjoy the sights and sounds of the morning desert. We will watch for birds, mammals and reptiles as the sun rises and the day warms up. We might also see nocturnal creatures finishing their business and settling down to rest. The route follows San Tan and Hedgehog trails which vary from smooth and level to uneven with small to medium rocks underfoot. This includes a steep section of San Tan that drops approximately 100 feet in elevation. Wear closed-toe shoes and bring a hat, sunscreen, snacks and plenty of water. Restrooms and water are available at the Nature Center.
