Events

The San Tan Valley Master Gardeners invite you to join them for an evening that celebrates the saguaro cactus on an easy to moderate trail stroll. Mother Nature may treat you to a saguaro blossom in the process of opening or perhaps a bat drinking nectar and pollinating the bloom. Of course, you will see the beauty of a sunset behind our magnificent mountains! During the walk they will talk about the significance of the saguaro in our environment and share some fascinating fun facts with you. Suitable for all ages. Be sure to wear closed-toe shoes and bring water and a camera. Binoculars recommended. Please have exact $7 cash for the Self-Pay station or your Annual Pass. Meet at the Main Trailhead map kiosk. Limit 10 participants per group leader.
