Opt outdoors for ‘Black Friday’ and work off the Thanksgiving pounds! Join Ranger Eric for a guided hike on all 3 miles of the Preserve’s trails while learning about the nature and history of the area along the way. If you’re participating in Maricopa County Parks’ 100 Miles in 100 Days Challenge, this is a great way to work towards your goal! Space is limited, so please contact the Preserve Visitor Center at 928-684-2772 to sign up for this event. 

Important Notes:

• Sign-up is required for all programs and capacity for each is limited to 10 people, unless otherwise noted.  Please call the Visitor Center at 928-684-2772 to register for programs.  If you find you cannot attend a program you have registered for, please call the Visitor Center ASAP so we may contact those on the waiting list.

• NEW: To improve fairness for all interested in the limited spaces for our programs, each party/household may not sign up for more than 1 of the same type of program per month (i.e. you can sign up for a bird and a night walk, but not 2 bird walks or 2 night walks per month), and each party/household will only be allowed up to 5 spaces per program.

• Programs are all ages, but might not be suitable for toddlers or young children. Most guided programs involve at least 0.5-1 mile of walking on mostly flat, but sometimes uneven ground.

• Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, masks are currently required indoors, but not outside on trails as long as physical distancing of at least 6 feet is practiced.
