Night Comes Alive (East District)

Saguaro National Park

  • Every week on Friday at 7:00 PM from June 01, 2026 to June 30, 2026
  • Fees apply

Half of the park is after dark! Join a ranger in the evening hours as night-prowling creatures begin to emerge. This program meets at the Rincon Mountain Visitor Center. After a short ranger presentation, you'll hop into your car and follow the ranger out to a trail for a <2 mile hike to explore the sights and sounds of the Sonoran desert at night. We recommend bringing your own flashlight, especially red lights or black lights! 

Fees

Standard entry fees apply; purchase a park pass online or at the entrance station next to the Rincon Mountain Visitor Center if needed. America the Beautiful passes are accepted.
