Notice:
April seems to be a slow month for events in the Southwest. So this month would be a great time to go out and explore the beautiful desert. With an abundant amount of rain this winter, the desert will be busy with flowers, vegetation, reptiles and animals. So this month take the time to explore and create your own events with your family. Have Fun!! Linda Gilmore
