Ramble Summary
On this morning ramble we will explore some of the desert’s landscapes & rock formations. Nature-walking in the desert is always beautiful in the winter! We will have a chance to talk about the geology & how the arid environment shapes the landscape. As we will be hiking through desert terrain, please make sure to wear suitable covered shoes and pants.
As usual, we may also encounter birds, wildlife, and desert plants, so be prepared for anything!
