What to Expect:
- A driving tour through the desert to: Coachwhip Canyon, Palm Wash – South Fork, 17 Palms Oasis, Pumpkin Patch, Vista del Malpais

- All stops will include time for a short talk, self-exploration, or a short, guided hike, so please arrive with sun protection, sturdy shoes & water.
- None of the explorations or hikes will be difficult, but participants should be ready for typical desert terrain.

Who Should Attend:
- If you’re looking to get to know our desert better and build your self-confidence for driving in the desert environment, then this excursion is for you.
