We will camp at the Cottonwood Group Campground, which gives us good access to the lower and upper Sonoran Desert as well as the Mojave Desert floristic provinces. Campground creature comforts include picnic tables, sun shades, flat areas for tents, fire pits, toilets and potable water. Group site fees ($200) will be split among attendees, and there may be additional park entrance fees. Weather is expected to be warm days and chilly nights.

Before signing on this trip, commit yourself to attending so no one else loses a spot on the list. Singles should consider if you are willing to carpool (only 11 cars allowed for up to 20 people, no overflow parking).
