Venture forth into the dark once more with Ranger Shaun carrying flashlights, blacklights, and a taste for adventure! Click program title for more details.

Welcome back to the Desert after dark! Another chance to see the Sonoran’s elusive night crew out and about. We’ll creep down the Moonlight-Stargazer-San Tan loop trying to spot things like rabbits, rattlesnakes, scorpions, tarantulas, and perhaps owls or bats.

The trail is roughly a mile of moderate terrain, scaling up slightly due to the dark. Closed toe shoes, water bottles, and a flashlight are required. Blacklights are optional, but you’re encouraged to bring one if you have it. Some may be available to borrow (limited supply). No pets please.
