Picacho Peak: Junior Ranger Guided Hike

Do you and your kids love being outside? Are you all fascinated with nature? Then join our rangers on a short hike in our park that is suitable for all ages! While hiking the Nature Trail, the group will fill out Junior Ranger packets that the ranger will go over during and after the hike. Afterwards, the Ranger will swear the group in as Junior Rangers, get their packets stamped and signed, and give them their official Junior Ranger badges!

While these hikes will not be strenuous, we still recommend bringing water and the appropriate footwear for hiking. Hikers will meet at the Nature Loop trailhead at the Harrington Loop.

This event is part of Outdoors250, a celebration of America’s 250th anniversary and Arizona’s natural heritage. By participating in this event, you can enter to win Outdoors250 prizes by signing up at AZStateParks.com/Outdoors250.
