Is it just me, or are the owls extra boisterous right now? I’m taking their “hoot hoots” as a hint to get outdoors and smell the wildflowers while I still can. Since it’s not time to fry an egg on the sidewalk just yet, let’s celebrate Earth Day, explore the wonders in our backyard, and tick off some hikes while we still can.
April is one of my favorite months to get my Dora the Explorer on in Arizona. In addition to Earth Day on April 22, 2024, National Parks Week kicks off on Saturday, April 20. Check out the list below for ways to pay tribute to our planet all month!
