What we’re about
We are a community of artists and intellectuals who enjoy having good conversations, adventures, and attending various art-related events. Potential activities include visiting museums and galleries, concerts, tea time conversations, plein air painting, and hiking. The intention of this group is for people to feel free to be themselves, and this group is LGBTQ+ organized. Suggestions and co-organizers are always welcome.

Fall Colors--Verde Valley Visit
Dead Horse Ranch State Park, 675 Dead Horse Ranch Rd, Cottonwood, AZ, USLet's head to the Verde Valley to see some fall colors and maybe check out an archaeological site. We'll start off at Dead Horse State Park ($10 entrance fee), which is a 1.5 to 2 hour drive from the Phoenix area. We'll meet at the Ranger Station between 10:00 and 10:30 a.m. (trying to account for varied traffic), then check out the ponds and some of the short trails (0.5 to 1.0 mile each). We'll have lunch at one of the picnic areas.

Tuzigoot National Monument is nearby, or we can look for other areas with fall colors (if we're past the peak in Cottonwood, maybe head toward Rimrock or Prescott). Or if people are wanting to just check out Cottonwood, we can do that, as well. There are a number of museums and shops in the area.
What to bring? A camera, hat, sun protection, water, and a lunch/snacks. I recommend dressing in layers. Also, carpooling is an option, so post in the comments if you want to carpool.
