Ranger Shaun is returning to this morning’s trail for another hike. Come join him, or even better RE-join him! See how different the desert can be in the dark as we look along the trail for nocturnal animals and strain our ears for the sounds of distant nightlife. We’ll be exploring the Metate trail as it wanders along the riverbank, crossing the river a couple times then heads back along a part of the San Tan trail. Overall, the trip will cover just over 2 miles. Flashlights, blacklights, and plenty of water, perhaps even a snack, are recommended. No pets please. Port-a-potty style restrooms will be available near the trail head, but there is no water available in the park, please come prepared. MEETING LOCATION: Picnic tables near the restrooms Limit 10 participants. To register, please call the Nature Center at (602) 506-2930 ext.8 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 12/14/23.
