Hike: Hornblende Canyon (Moderate) – FULL (waitlist)

ABDNHA Parking Lot 652 Palm Canyon Drive, Borrego Springs

Leader: Rachel Rench, ABDNHA Volunteer

HIKE IS FULL - PLEASE CALL ABDNHA at 760-767-3098 to get on waitlist.

Meet at the ABDNHA parking lot at 8 a.m. to carpool to a parking area South of Blair Valley. Parking is limited there, so we need to take as few cars as possible. The hike up Hornblende Canyon is fairly flat in the beginning, but you'll need to be able to navigate a few small dry waterfalls until we reach a 40-foot-high dry waterfall and our turnaround point. We'll eat lunch here and then return the way we came. This hike will be limited to 15 people. Call the Nature Center to reserve.

Hike: West Truckhaven Wash (Moderate) – FULL (waitlist)

ABDNHA Parking Lot 652 Palm Canyon Drive, Borrego Springs

Leader: Kathy Bussey, ABDNHA Volunteer

HIKE IS FULL - PLEASE CALL ABDNHA at 760-767-3098 to get on waitlist.

A mile east of Arroyo Salado, on the North side of S-22, lie the unique Truckhaven Rocks, a Swiss cheese sandstone formation. This 2.3-mile round-trip hike skirts the West side of the Rocks. We will walk up a sandy wash that eventually narrows between weathered sandstone walls. The hike is easy. However, there is one 3-foot dry waterfall that we need to climb up. Meet at ABDNHA and be willing to carpool. 2WD OK. Bring water, snacks, a hat, and sturdy boots. Call 760-767-3098 to reserve. Limit 18 people.

Astronomy Lecture: Fossils of the Solar System

ABDNHA Library 652 Palm Canyon Drive, Borrego Springs

Speaker: Dr. Neil Farber

Just as fossils on Earth are remnants of past life forms, there are astronomical fossils in space dating back to the early days of the Solar System that may provide insights into how the Solar System and life itself originated. NASA is conducting a multitude of missions to study asteroids, aiming to enhance our understanding of the Solar System and explore ways to mitigate the threats posed by potential collisions with Earth. General Public: $12, Members: $10, Volunteers: $8. You can register online at www.abdnhaorg or at the Nature Center, 760-767-3098. Held in the ABDNHA Library.
