Join Ranger Kevin for an evening hike focused on scorpions native to the Sonoran Desert.

Join Ranger Kevin for a 2.7-mile night hike on the North 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: North Trailhead.
No registration required.
