Description

We're sorry, but this activity is over. The last meeting was Wednesday, September 24, 2025.

Both small and mighty, the Hassayampa River Preserve of Wickenburg contains amazingly varied landscapes that are best experienced on foot. Venture off the beaten path on a nature walk where you'll follow the trickling perennial water through a green forest flush with wildflowers and an arboreal symphony of songbirds. A brief stop at the Nature Center offers the chance to learn more about this natural paradise. Stop for an independent lunch afterward in Wickenburg. Activity level: Easy. Distance and elevation gain varies.
