We’ll be walking the moderate rated, approximately 1-mile Black Rock Loop. As the sun sets and the temperature begins to fall, we’ll talk about various desert plants and animals as and if we encounter them. The dark brings out some of the deserts more interesting critters as birds, bats, bugs, and more begin to creep out with the shadows. Closed toed shoes are required, as are water bottles. Flashlights recommended, blacklights encouraged. Bring along whatever else you need to feel comfortable hiking. No pets please. Restrooms and water will be available at the trailhead.
