This year Celebration of Our Mountains will be focusing on guided events which teach others about the natural history or history of places in and around El Paso. In the past we have had visits to petroglyph sites, volcanoes, mines, historic airplane crash sites as well as geology tours, birding outings and historic districts. We’ve gone as far away as Guadalupe National Park, Tonuco Mountain and Valley of Fires. Closer to home we’ve done events at Cristo Rey, the Otero Plateau, the Tin Mine and more.
The purpose of Celebration is to show people great places to visit in our mountains and desert and to teach them more about the ecosystems, geology, zoology, botany and history of our area. We want to instill the value of the need to preserve and conserve our land and key historic sites.
If you would like to organize an event, please contact Jim Tolbert at 915-525-7364 or diegotolbert@gmail.com now. A calendar meeting will be held next Wednesday evening at Ardovino’s Desert Crossing. You must RSVP with Jim to attend. We each purchase our own dinner from the menu.
