Kick off the first weekend of 2026 with Ranger Kevin on a strenuous, but rewarding, morning hike. Click program title for more details.
Up for a challenging Sunday morning hike? Looking to get out on the trail, but don’t want to hike alone? This is a tough 6.1-mile hike on the Goldmine, Dynamite and San Tan trails. This combination of trails has a rating of moderate to difficult, so expect lots of loose rock, uneven terrain and a challenging amount of elevation change; please know your skill and fitness level. You may find hiking poles helpful. Restrooms are available at the nearby Nature Center; please pack 3 liters of water, snacks and electrolytes. You may also want to consider having some extra water in your vehicle for when you get back. Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes; hats, sunscreen and layered clothing are strongly recommended. NO pets, please.
This is a great way for advanced hikers to knock some miles of the MC Parks’ 100 Miles in 100 Days Challenge. Find more info about the program here: https://www.maricopacountyparks.net/things-to-do/activity/100-miles-in-100-days-challenge/
