Q&A

Q: Are there any age limits for the Night Glow Hike?

A: Yes, the Night Glow Hike is suitable for ages 8 and up. Kids under 12 should be accompanied by an adult. It's a fun and educational experience for families, but just a heads up, the terrain can be rugged, so make sure the kids are up for a little adventure.

Q: What should I wear for the Night Glow Hike? Is it cold at night?

A: I’d recommend dressing in layers! It can get chilly in the desert once the sun sets, especially in fall and winter. Sturdy shoes are a must since you’ll be on uneven trails. Bring a light jacket just in case!

Q: What happens if the weather doesn’t cooperate? Can we reschedule?

A: If the weather is bad, the hike can be rescheduled for a later date. AZ Wonders is pretty flexible with that! Just make sure you check their cancellation policy when booking.

Going on the Night Glow Hike this weekend! Any tips?

I'm super excited about the Night Glow Hike at Phoenix Mountains Preserve! It’s supposed to be a beautiful night under the stars. I’ve read that the guides are really knowledgeable, and the scorpions glowing is a must-see. Just wanting to know if anyone has done this and any tips for a first-timer?

Gifted the Night Glow Hike, any feedback?

I just bought this Night Glow Hike experience for my brother’s birthday. He loves the outdoors but has never done something like this. Anyone have a recommendation for how he might feel about it? Is the hike tough or pretty easygoing?
