GUIDED HIKE OF CAVE CREEK'S DRAGONFLY TRAIL
Join Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area
park ranger Kevin Smith on an informational tour of the Dragonfly
Trail. This lush route winds through a riparian habitat on Cave
Creek where an amazing assortment of plant, animal and insect
(dragonflies!!!) life thrives in a shallow ravine surrounded by
enormous saguaro cactuses. Ranger Smith will also point out a
prehistoric rock art site that many hikers stroll right past without ever
nowing it was there. Here's a chance to really gain an understanding
of this rare desert jewel.
WHEN: Saturday, Nov 3, 2012. 9:00 A.M. registration is NOT required.
LENGTH: 3.5 miles
RATING: moderate
ELEVATION: 2,400' - 2,200'
FEE: $3 per person.
GETTING THERE:
From
Loop 101 in Phoenix, exit at Cave Creek Road and drive 15 miles north
to Spur Cross Ranch Road. Here, you’ll turn left, then right,
then left again through a tricky intersection to stay on Spur Cross
Ranch Road. Continue 4.2 miles north to the dirt parking area
on the right just past the Spur Cross Stables (SCS) gateway.
