Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Spring Morning Meander

It’s the first of Spring! Join Ranger Shaun for a hike to celebrate the Spring Equinox! Spring is nearly here, and the Preserve is glad to let us know! Come wander the pathways with Ranger Shaun and see what we can find as changing temperatures bring out old familiar faces returning from vacations, like our Turkey Vultures, or waking from winter naps, like our rattlesnakes. You never know who you might bump into at the River! Hassayampa River Preserve does not allow pets. Restrooms and water are available in the parking lot. Limited snacks are available in the gift shop. The trails at Hassayampa are generally flat and easily accessible but feel free to bring whatever hiking gear makes you comfortable. The abundant wildlife at HRP also makes for excellent wildlife viewing and birdwatching, so cameras, binoculars, or magnifying glasses are never a bad idea. MEETING LOCATION: Visitor Center To register, please call the Visitor Center at (602) 506-2930 ext. 9 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 03/18/26.
