Participants should wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water. Walking will take place on and off trails throughout the park's varied habitats. While bringing your own binoculars is recommended, the park has several pairs of binoculars available for loan to participants. Guides will be available for up to three hours, or as long as birds are active. The park's lands include rare types of southwestern forest located along the Santa Cruz River. Some bird species found in these and other local habitats are not usually seen in other places in this country, and are part of the reason why visiting southern Arizona is on many a birders' bucket list.
