Ranger Olivia leads this picturesque hike to watch the sun set while also learning about saguaros along the way. We will see the sunset, saguaros, saguaro blossoms, and maybe some evening critters as well. You may bring your blacklight and regular flashlight to look for evening critters(optional). This hike begins on Moonlight trail where we will connect onto our Service Road to create a loop of about 2 miles. The terrain is rated moderate and ranges from even and smooth to uneven with small to medium rocks underfoot. Wear closed-toe shoes and bring plenty of water. Restrooms and water are available at the Nature Center near the trailhead.
