Art Smith Trailhead

Discover how the desert comes alive after dark! Do you know which animals change colors when you use a blacklight?
Using blacklights, a Friends’ volunteer docent will begin a short walk on uneven cobbled desert terrain in the basin below the dike/levy looking for scorpions and other nocturnal creatures that inhabit our desert.
This is a family friendly event. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Bring water, wear closed-toed shoes and a black light if you have one. If not, we will have a few black lights to share. Sorry, no dogs allowed on this trail.
Tickets will go on sale two weeks prior to the event. RSVP is required, check-in 15 minutes prior to start time. A suggested non-refundable donation of $10.00 per person is appreciated and encouraged to support our volunteer programs.RSVP&nbsp;HERE:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.desertmountains.org/event/monument-night-adventures-7/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">desertmountains.org/event/monument-night-adventures-7/</a>
For more information contact Friends of the Desert Mountains at 760-568-9918.
Please note: We will meet at the Art Smith Trailhead parking lot located just past the driveway for the Visitor Center approximately 100 feet on the southwest side of Highway 74.
