  The San Pedro River, a narrow green oasis rippling through desert grassland, is one of the last wild rivers in the Southwest and one of the most endangered. Each spring, millions of migrating birds follow the San Pedro north toward breeding grounds as far away as the arctic tundra of Canada and Alaska.
  
  This 3-hour guided walk through desert grassland and among towering cottonwood trees will introduce you to the birds and other wildlife that make their homes in the sanctuary of the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area. River Walks depart from Casa de San Pedro Bed & Breakfast.

  $10 per person for members of SABO and/or guests of Casa de San Pedro Bed & Breakfast, $15 for non-members. Participation is limited, and reservations are required; prepaid registration is refundable only if unforeseen circumstances force SABO to cancel the walk.
