Tortoise Chat

Have questions about desert tortoises? Come visit our desert tortoise enclosure and learn about conservation efforts to study and protect our wild desert tortoise population in the Monument. Also, great opportunity to meet Bowser, our adopted Mojave desert tortoise who lives on site.

Meet at the tortoise enclosure any time between 8:30am – 9:30am. (Note: times may be reduced due to heat.)

NO RESERVATION REQUIRED.
