Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Ecosystems Hike

Ranger Shaun is on the prowl for critters as Spring wakes up the desert! If critter hunting is your vibe, join Ranger Shaun for an animal friendly hunting trip looking for the Season’s Firsts as he heads down Slate Trail looking for whatever he can find. It’s Spring and temperatures are climbing, which means rattlesnakes will be here soon too! Please wear closed toed shoes, bring water for drinking and whatever hiking equipment makes you most comfortable. No pets please. No animals will be harmed on this adventure.
