Ranger Nikki will lead you on an easy to moderate terrain hike to learn about common desert plants such as cacti, legume trees and shrubs and search for signs of seasonal wildflower growth along the trails and creek. The route uses Spur Cross, Fairy Duster, Metate and Dragonfly Trails for approximately 5 miles. The trails range from easy flat terrain to rocky and uneven surfaces. Portable restrooms are available at the trailhead. Be sure to bring plenty of your own drinking water as none is available at the park. The entry fee for Spur Cross is $3 per person, cash only. Please have exact cash for the self-pay station or your annual pass.
