Ridgecrest Petroglyph Festival
RIDGECREST, CALIF. — A perfect time to visit the Mojave desert is November when the weather finally cools down. It’s the optimum time for a festival, as well. Ridgecrest Petroglyph and Heritage Festival on the weekend of November 15 & 16, 2014 invites the public to a fantastic, free event where you can learn about the magical nature of ancient native rock art. Listen to tales of sacred rituals that accompanied these etchings with archaeologists and historians. While the event is free, you must register for tickets before going. See: rpfestival.com
If you’re a U.S. citizen with a sense of curiosity & adventure, fit enough to withstand 3 miles of hiking among sand & rocks at the Mojave Desert’s 5,000′ elevation, you can sign up for a tour to see the petroglyphs, but do it fast as spaces are nearly full for the November dates! Note: There is a fee for the tour.
