Black Rock Rendezvous, now in its third decade, provided us an early season opportunity to gather over the Memorial Day Weekend for a multi-day campout with our partners at the Bureau of Land Management and Friends of Nevada Wilderness. This year's event featured a Dutch oven cook-off, recreational opportunities, site stewardship projects, plant tours, and educational programming related to the extraordinary animals, geology, hydrology, and history of the Black Rock.

Located at the iconic Stevens Campground, north of High-Rock Canyon, National Trails Day 2024 was a unique opportunity to travel deep within the NCA, and to spend a weekend helping to improve our public lands, surrounded by natural beauty and our wonderful community of volunteers.

Our annual Perseids Meteor Shower Campout is our favorite way to celebrate the dark skies of the Black Rock. This year featured telescope viewing, a night-sky talk, scorpion searching, night bike-rides, a stewardship event, a member appreciation dinner, and many wonderful moments shared among friends.

With stewardship projects taking place all-day Saturday, including preservation of the public-use cabin, fence removal, fire-pit placement and campground maintenance, National Public Lands Day provides an opportunity to roll your sleeves up and do your part to improve our public lands, amongst the backdrop of scenic Soldier Meadows.

We offered three Rides With Friends events, which in turn offered bicyclists the opportunity to ride in what can sometimes be a pretty daunting region, and to do so with the assistance of an experienced guide and a community of other riders.
