On the Arizona Trail, you ll get a chance to study these creatures and more as you wander lush river banks, explore mountain woodlands, and hike through the desert to spectacular rocky buttes. See the endangered Ramsay Canyon leopard frog, desert pupfish, and dozens of other animals. A purple-headed Anna s hummingbird may hover nearby as you wander the aviary while a pink and black gila monster lurks quietly in the safety of his rocky home. Enjoy the wondrous natural communities of the Arizona Trail.
Animals wander through the plants and features of their wild homes.
Our coyotes live among spectacular desert wildflower displays in the spring while our Mexican wolves prowl a forest seemingly transplanted intact from the White Mountains. A cacophany rings out from pine trees as emerald green thick-billed parrots greet each other. From the top of a butte, a herd of desert bighorn sheep watch as you wander a desert wash. Much of the action in the Arizona Trail occurs outside the exhibits and changes with the season. Carpenter bees busily build new homes in a fallen tree.
