On Saturday, November 9, 2024, from 2-4 PM, the Cave Creek Museum will present “Black Mountain: A Study in Black & White.”

Stephanie Bradley, a renowned guest speaker and museum member, will explore the intriguing geology of the Desert Foothills. She will discuss topics such as the true nature of the boulders at The Boulders, the reasons behind Black Mountain’s distinct coloration, and the distribution of saguaros. Attendees will also learn about the valuable minerals that attracted prospectors to the region. This interactive session aims to illuminate ancient geological wonders within the museum’s historic church.
