Spark your 'natural' curiosity with our volunteer Naturalists as they take participants on a journey throughout the Central Arizona Highlands! Each FREE walk can be up to 1.5 hours long, though naturalists often adapt walks to participant's needs and desires. Walks take place along the Highlands Center's trails located within the Prescott National Forest on Saturdays and at select City of Prescott Trails on Wednsedays. Please refer to the schedule below for details on City trails.
Please be sure to bring plenty of water, wear comfortable walking shoes, have either sunscreen or a hat to protect yourself from Arizona's harsh sun and be prepared to have a lot of fun!

March - April & September - October
10:00 a.m. May - August 8:00a.m.
