On January 1st, take a break from the holiday hustle with a ranger-led hike at Oracle State Park! Enjoy scenic views and the peaceful atmosphere along the 1.2 mile Nature Trail Loop. This easy-to-moderate hike should last for about an hour and half, and features some elevation changes, narrow inclines, and rocky terrain. We’ll pause along the way to soak in the views, search for wildlife, and embrace the park’s tranquility.

Meet at the Historic Kannally Ranch House patio around 9:45 AM for a 10:00 AM start. Bring water, sunscreen, a hat, sturdy shoes, and your camera or binoculars. $7 day-use fee applies (or free with an AZ State Parks annual pass).

See you there!

Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a hummingbird!

Late summer is a common time to spot hummingbirds in Southern Arizona as many species are migrating south this time of year. In honor of these small and speedy birds, here are some quick hummingbird facts:

🪶Hummingbirds can beat their wings about 70 times per second!
🪶Hummingbirds are important pollinators of native plants!
🪶At least 12 species of hummingbirds can be found in Arizona, which is more than any other state!
🪶Many hummingbird species are migratory, some traveling more than 3,000 miles away!

This Saturday (September 7th) is National Hummingbird Day! What better way to celebrate than going out and looking for hummingbirds? Oracle State Park and other Arizona State Parks have great birding opportunities. We hope to see you!

What is your favorite hummingbird fact?
