Join Ranger Eric for a guided hike to learn about the animals, plants, and ecology of the Sonoran Desert. We will hike about 3.3 miles on a loop of the Wagner, Granite, and Bluff Trails, on easy to moderate grade, with some uneven, rocky, and sandy surfaces. Please wear sturdy footwear and sun protection, and carry ample water, electrolytes, and snacks for yourself. Restrooms are available at the Nature Center nearby (opposite the entrance road to the Rowland Campground and Wagner Trailhead) and in the campground.
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).
