Tiny to Huge Native Plants. Upper Romero Canyon and Green Pirate Rock, 8:00 am with John Scheuring. Fourteen-person limit. This slow hike will traverse actively growing riparian areas, desert grassland, and saguaro-studded bajadas as we learn about key plant species in each habitat and dynamic plant successions now in progress. We’ll also see desert blooming wildflowers. We will encounter steep climbs and rocky stream crossings and hike a total of 3 miles. Bring a hiking stick to help yourself balance at stream crossings, plenty of water and snacks. Meet at Catalina State Park Main Parking lot and trailhead area at the information kiosk.
