News from: CactusToCloud Institute
Hello Business Community!
Thanks for your interest in our upcoming event in Chuckwalla National Monument hosted by CactusToCloud Institute in collaboration with our friends at Red Jeep Tours!
This special tour of Painted Canyon, will include expert naturalist guides, and discussion of how outdoor recreation and public lands protections can benefit the Coachella Valley economy. Lunch will be provided, and now that we’ve ‘fallen back’ to standard time we will get to see the sunset over the amazing Mecca Hills, one of the highlights of the new Monument.
During your visit, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about the fascinating other-wordly geology found right here in our backyard, and see rare plants found nowhere else on Earth. You will have the opportunity to ask questions about Chuckwalla National Monument, and we will be able to explore the opportunities our desert public lands offer our tourism industry and community members alike. If you haven’t yet visited or are looking for a new way to connect with your community, don’t miss out!
