We will hike 3.5 miles roundtrip on easy to moderate grade, with frequently rocky or uneven ground. Throughout the hike we stop at points to look at rock art and stone tools that can still be found in the park. Please bring a flashlight/ headlamp, wear sturdy footwear, and carry ample water, electrolytes, and snacks for yourself. Restrooms are available at the trailhead but there is not water in the park so make sure to bring some with you.
PLEASE NOTE: Outdoor summer programs may be canceled on short notice due to severe weather, including extreme heat events. The Maricopa County Parks website (www.maricopa.gov/parks) is the most accurate resource for verifying the program’s current status. Please check the program listing online before coming to the park.
