Allow two to three hours for the round trip and easy walk. No reservations needed, but please be prompt, dress for an elevation of 8,500 feet and bring your own drinking water. Sorry, we cannot allow pets at the preserve. Due to the rustic nature of the trail, it is not wheelchair or stroller accessible. More information: (928) 774-8892 ext. 5 or hartprairie@tnc.org.
