An Imperial Valley Desert Gem

​#RockSolidHistory from Imperial Valley Desert Museum in Ocotillo, CA!
​
This museum perfectly, and wondrously, captures this unique part of southern California.

From indoor displays of former marine life, human-induced land changes, clay vessels, and wildlife, to an outdoor art and informational trail, this museum has a little something for everyone.

Pictured here are:

• The entrance
• Ocotillo Observatory – an equinox aligned site to connect humans to the sky
• The earth history of the Coyote Mountains
• Spirit of the Desert sculpture - by Carroll Barnnes and a gift from the Quechan people
• Marine fossils and geodes

These are just a few nuggets. There is a lot more. If you are ever near El Centro, be sure to check this museum out.
