Bird enthusiasts join a naturalist for a guided walk appropriate for beginner and advanced birders. Most year-round birds are found in the riparian area next to Oak Creek or along the field behind the Visitor Center. The Audubon Society has designated Red Rock State Park as part of the Lower Oak Creek Important Birding Area (IBA) because of the many species that live or visit here. Please meet up with the leader on the viewing deck above the visitor center.

Join us for a guided nature walk led by Maya Barnes — arrive in your body, awaken your senses, and reconnect with the natural world.

This is a walk with no goal other than the quiet practice of arriving, fully, into a body that can see, hear, smell, touch, taste the world around it. We often move through nature chasing something: a summit, a species, a good photo, a workout. Here, we set all of that aside and let the senses lead us into the present moment, and into a deeper awareness of the landscape and our place within it. We'll move together in mindfulness with small invitations into sensory exploration. No expertise needed. Just a willingness to slow down and let your senses lead.

Maya Robin Barnes, M.S. candidate in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Nature-Based Counseling and 200-hour RYT yoga instructor, brings years of experience in outdoor and experiential education and mindfulness to Wild Awareness.
