Don’t let the last week of 2021 fly by without a visit to the High Desert Museum. There’s wonder around every corner!
Gain a new perspective on wildfire as valuable questions are raised in the exhibit Rethinking Fire. The exhibit closes Sunday, January 9!
Pack your visit with free interpretive talks including High Desert Natural History, Bird of Prey Encounter and the Carnivore Talk.
Observing the antics of Rogue, Pitch and Brook, you’ll quickly learn why a group of river otters is called a “romp.”
