Reserve at least two weeks in advance.
The Hassayampa River Preserve, a Nature Conservancy property just east of Wickenburg, encompasses an incredible oasis of greenery along the Hassayampa River, teeming with birds and wildlife. We’ll spend much of our day here, walking several of the trails and enjoying our lunch. We’ll be talking about mainly desert ecology and some geology. On the way back to Prescott, we’ll detour to take the old Yarnell Hill Road through the ghost town of Stanton (named for an infamous early county resident) in the Weaver Mountains, also visiting the Octave townsite nearby. Several miles of walking, mainly on gentle groomed trails. Activity Rating: 2.
Tuition includes transportation, entrance fees, box lunch and field instruction. Departs 7AM from Prescott campus.
