I know what you're thinking....
 
Why would I buy a sweatshirt when it's 105 in the shade?
 
Because it won't always be 105 in the non-existent shade... And this sweatshirt won't be on sale when the temperatures drop.
 
This basic black, goes-with-anything, mid-weight sweatshirt features an embroidered Friends of Red Rock Canyon logo on the upper left chest. This unisex shirt runs true to size with no shrinkage. The shirt is almost guaranteed to help you run faster and look taller and thinner.
 
Okay, I admit it... I made that last part up. But this is a great sweatshirt at a fabulous price. Buy now to be warm and toasty all winter long...
 
The normal member discount will not apply as this stylish shirt is on sale.  
 
Sizes and quantities are limited to stock on hand so order soon.

NEW  VISITOR  CENTER  

Red Rock Canyon Visitor Center Greetings!

The finishing touches are being added to the new Red Rock Canyon Visitor Center. The Center, scheduled to open in September, features an awe-inspiring view of the Calico Hills, an amphitheater, educational information, classroom, exhibit space and a fabulous new gift and book store, Elements.
 
The outdoor exhibits, with the themes of Earth, Fire, Water and Wind, are still under construction with an estimated completion date of March - April 2010. 
 
Updates will be posted via the Desert Trumpet and the Friends of Red Rock Canyon Update.
