Explore the desert along parts of Yavapai and Pipeline trails under the light of the full moon as we search for critters in the dark! We’ll bring the UV lights as we specifically stalk scorpions, but who knows what we might find in the desert in the dark!
This is a roughly 1.5-mile hike on easy to moderate rated trails. Due to the darkness inherent to a full moon hike, hiking poles are recommended if available. Flashlights, water bottles with drinking water, and closed toed shoes are required.
