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.
