The Gila River has a storied past, a tenuous present, and perhaps a hopeful future. We’ll discuss the historical highlights as well as the importance of the Gila River to the health and diversity of desert life while exploring the riparian habitat for interesting plants and animals. The trail is approximately 2 miles and rated as moderately difficult, with stretches of loose rock, deep and sandy soil, and large rocks and other obstacles. Please wear sturdy, closed-toed shoes and bring plenty of water. Hats and sunscreen are also highly recommended. Restrooms and water are available at the Nature Center. NO pets, please.
