Enjoy a guided plant hike along one of our trails to see all the beauty the desert plants have to offer. We will be along the North trail, which is rated easy and is mostly flat with some uneven/rocky surfaces so please wear closed-toed shoes. We will do a 3-mile loop along this trail to see the variety of plants that can grow here! Restrooms are available near the trailhead, but water is NOT available near or at the trailhead but is available at the Nature Center before arriving at the trailhead. Be sure to bring water and any questions you have about the plants that reside in the desert!
