Join us for a Day of Desert Joy

This month, we’re coming together to celebrate the beauty of the Sonoran Desert and the joy of being in community.

These events are inspired by our popular e-newsletter, A Dose of Desert Joy, a weekly celebration of the Sonoran Desert through photos and artwork. We hope you can join us on Thursday, October 23!

October 23, 2025 | 7:00 – 9:00am | Free entry | Location

Join us for a relaxed community hike and learn about the interesting lives of rattlesnakes and other desert critters from local rattlesnake expert, Mike Cardwell.

Snap pictures of what sparks joy along the way!

Come experience the Painted Hills with us!

At the end, we invite you to share your favorite photos and be featured in one of our weekly A Dose of Desert Joy emails.

We’ll bring the coffee and treats.

Get crafty with us! Make a desert plant-inspired clay mosaic tile or coaster to take home. We’ll be joined by local artists Maxie Adler and Rachel Ivanyi to share creative tips.

Make your own mosaics to take home!
