This was a nice walk around 1 mile loop perfect for family outing. Very informative interactive signs showed us so much about the desert- geography of the wash, animals (insects, birds, and mammals), and plants. Easy walk for two year old.

This trail is approximately 4 miles round trip if you go all the way to the top. It is really rocky and you have to watch every step. You will just love the beautiful desert and the views from the top. Note: this trail tends to also be very windy.

I loved this trailhead because it has so many options available. From the super-easy 1/2 mile trail to ones that go for miles and miles around the park. I particularly liked climbing Brown Mountain.

So many different trails to choose from - everyone welcome! There are short nature trails that are good for small kids & those with mobility issues up to 13+ miles. Bikes are ridden on this trail but only if you are really experienced - very loose, rocky soil. Be sure to take plenty of H2O, no matter the time of year. Also, don't bring the dog when it's above 90 degrees - too hot for them!
