SUNRISE HIKE: Sidewinder and Ocotillo Trail Loop

Details

Join us for a beautiful sunrise hike on the Sidewinder and Ocotillo Trail Loop, a 5.3-mile moderate trail with about 534 feet of elevation gain, taking roughly 2 hours to complete. Starting early means cooler temperatures and peaceful desert views as the sun comes up—perfect for a refreshing morning adventure!
The Ocotillo Trail is mostly flat and easygoing, while Sidewinder adds a bit more elevation for a nice challenge and great views of the Sonoran Desert.
🧢 What to bring:

  • Plenty of water
  • Sturdy hiking shoes
  • Trekking poles (optional but helpful)
  • Dogs are welcome—just keep them on a leash

🚗 We recommend arriving 15–20 minutes early, as parking can fill up quickly, especially on weekends.
Come start your day with fresh air, desert beauty, and great company—we’d love to see you out on the trail!
