Join Ranger Kevin for a fun, family-friendly evening hike focused on scorpions native to the Sonoran Desert. Click program title for more details.

Join Ranger Kevin for an approximately 1.8-mile loop on the Black Rock Trail. We will be looking for all three species of scorpion native to our neck of the Sonoran Desert: Striped-tail, Bark, and, of course, the Giant Desert Hairy. Who knows what else we may see? Trail is rated easy, with very little loose rock and uneven terrain, and very little elevation change. Please wear sturdy closed-toe shoes, and bring plenty of water, and a flashlight. If you have a UV (black) light, feel free to bring it as well, but the Ranger will have one for spotting and highlighting scorpions. Restrooms are available near the trailhead. No pets, please.
MEETING LOCATION: Area 4 Parking Lot (near restrooms).
Limit 20 participants. To register, please call the Nature Center at (602) 506-2930 ext. 5 with your name, phone number and number of people attending. If you find you cannot attend a program after you have registered, please call the Nature Center ASAP so we may contact those on the waiting list. Registration for this program will close on 7/6/23.
