Join Ranger Eric for a guided hike to learn about the animals, plants, and ecology of the Sonoran Desert. We will hike about 2.1 miles roundtrip on easy to moderate grade, with frequently rocky, sandy, and uneven ground, as we do a loop involving portions of the Blevins, Crismon Wash, Meridian, and NoSo Trails. Please wear sturdy footwear and sun protection, and carry ample water, electrolytes, and snacks for yourself. Restrooms are available at the Area 10 trailhead parking lot where we will meet.
This hike is a great way to make progress towards your goal if you are participating in Maricopa County Park’s “100 Miles in 100 Days” hiking challenge (Nov. 1-Feb. 8).
