PS - Hike / Bike / Day Event Planning Meeting NOTE NEW LOCATION

Hike, bike, and day activities planning meeting. We will eat breakfast, review the calendar and coordinate events through the rest of 2026.

Due to the permanent closure of the Palm Springs IHOP and low attendance at the Rancho Mirage IHOP, we will meet at the Denny's (map here) across the street from the LGBTQ Center of the Desert in Palm Springs. 

If you are unable to attend, please submit your hike, bike or other events and we will schedule them.

Day Activities to consider other than hiking/biking:

• Bird-watching at your favorite wetland

• Movie night with an environmental focus

• Plan a creative celebration of the equinox or solstice

• Organize a docent-led tour of museum or park

• Take a docent tour and then lead a similar one yourself for Great Outdoors

• Attend a conservation lecture with other members

• Organize a service trip to repair or build trails or weed out invasive plants

• Set up a potluck brunch organized around a letter-writing campaign

• Photography hike and follow-up potluck to review photos

• Tour city dump or county watershed

• Tour a sewage treatment plant

• Tour little known public parks or open space

• Mountain biking

• Old-fashioned potluck picnic

• Special events or exhibits

• Ride horses

• Planetarium or museum or zoo visit on free day

• Anything that broadens our awareness of our environment is a valid outing
