What: Bajada Nature Trail and Brownie Hiker Badge - The Nature Trail is 0.5 miles.
"Bajada Nature Trails a wonderful half-mile interpretive loop close to the Sabina Recreation Visitor Center in McDowell Sonoran Preserve. With no elevation gain, plenty of signage to help you identify all of the desert flora, and ADA accessibility, this is an excellent hike for anyone.This is located off the Gateway trailhead, McDowell Sonoran Conservancy. Meet at the trailhead from 8:15-8:45. Girls will complete parts 1, 2, and 5 of the Hiker Badge. Do #3 (learn about gear for hikes) and #4 (plan a hiking snack) ahead of time and they'll earn the whole badge!
If you want a little longer walk, you can then take the Horseshoe Loop (1.7 mi, very low elevation gain) at the same trailhead.
