Official Yuma Travel Guide | 2024 46 Treasured Trails and Nature Walks Yuma has hiking trails and nature walks for every level of adventure. Looking for local wildlife? It’s not hard to find along the trails at Imperial National Wildlife Refuge. Get tips from knowledgeable staff at the refuge visitor center for the best trails to spot flora and fauna. Observe everything from a distance to avoid disrupting sensitive ecosystems along park pathways. If you prefer to have company, the visitor center also offers maps and information on guided hikes. Arizona's only native palm trees can be found at Kofa National Wildlife Refuge, but that’s not all you’ll find there. Hike up Telegraph Pass or take the Muggins Peak Trail for a challenging ascent with views that make it worth your while. Bring plenty of water and start early to avoid the warmest temperatures of the day. Made for the Outdoors Take it all in, Yuma is home to one of the largest contiguous protected wildlife areas in the country. The Kofa, Imperial, and Cibola National Wildlife Refuges provide plenty of natural wonders to discover. Tack on California’s Picacho State Park and the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area next door, and that’s more than 1,000 square miles of rugged desert, river and mountain terrain ready to explore. // EXPLORE Mittry Lake
