On Sunday morning, I took my aunt and uncle with me to the Santa Rosa Mountains Visitor Center. The SRMVC is at the base of Deep Canyon and Highway 74 in Palm Desert, CA. It is open 7 days a week, from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. I drive by it every time I go visit my horses up in the mountains. There are lots of hiking trails there and it is the last set of buildings before one starts to drive up winding Highway 74, so it backs up to open desert. In the fall, I would like to take the Henderson Trail, which climbs up into the foothills. It's too hot to do that now, so I'll wait for cooler weather. My aunt decided to sit outside on the patio, enjoy the scenery, and listen to the birds. She wandered into the building, where they have books, shirts, hats, maps, and all kinds of "goodies" for sale. After our walk, my uncle and I walked inside to enjoy the air conditioning and I took these photos. That's My World for Tuesday, August 3, 3020.
