Desert Survivors is an affiliation of desert lovers committed to experiencing, sharing and protecting desert wilderness wherever we find it. We recognize the places we love to explore will not remain wild unless we give others the opportunity to experience them as we do and unless we remain vigilant and active in our efforts to monitor and preserve them.

Latest News & Upcoming Events!

DESERT SURVIVORS SUMMER EVENTS
Members and others are invited to join Desert Survivors at the following events this summer. Details of each are on the Current Events page. We will also have informational booths at two street fairs this summer. Those will be placed in Current Events as details become known.

Check out our new Summer Trip Schedule on the Trips page. We are especially enthusiastic about the 156-mile Desert Trail Relay in Oregon, June 27 through July 20, but our many carcamps and dayhikes should also interest those of you who would enjoy a more laid-back experience.

We have a busy program this summer. We hope to see you at our events or in the desert!
Details for all these events are on the Current Events page.
