Hike with your children ages 5+ on this school holiday to spend time in nature. The group will walk on the 1-mile Overlook Trail, which includes some ups and downs that take us to great views at the top. (No strollers, please.)
At 10:00am, at the end of the hike, a representative from the Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center will be at the trailhead to talk about the work of the sanctuary and share a few animals, such as tortoises, for children to visit with while enjoying cookies and refreshments.
Parents may also bring children directly to the trailhead for refreshments and to visit the animals at 10:00 am. Make sure everyone wears closed-toe shoes, hats and has plenty of water. No dogs, please.
All events are free and open to the public.
Pre-registration with the Town of Fountain Hills is required. For more information and to register for hikes, visit here:
