| Desert Horror Stories Hike |
| San Tan Mountain Regional Park |
| Imagine going on a dinner date when suddenly you find yourself on the menu. In the Sonoran Desert not everybody wants a simple salad for dinner. Find out which animals are eating their dates, poisoning their enemies, and hatching their eggs in an unsuspecting victim. These stories, while true, are not recommended for the faint of heart. Meet at the visitor center for an unforgettable night of Animal Horror Stories on an eerie 1.3 mile walk through the desert at night. |
