The Hassayampa River Preserve is a treasure among birding locations in Maricopa County. Its 660 acres provide an amazing variety of riparian forest areas alongside the Hassayampa River. Cottonwood forests run throughout this stretch, as well as willow and mesquite, which extend beyond the Preserve limits. With this fine mix of habitats, the preserve has attracted an impressive 280 bird species. We will walk 5 different loop trails, a total of 2.5 miles. The Preserve has an entrance fee. Meet in the Preserve parking lot, about 45 miles from Phoenix.
Limit: 10
Difficulty: 3. (Mixed terrain and 2.5 miles of walking.)
