Creosote Ring presence on the Bristlecone website

The Creosote Ring subchapter was formed in the Fall of 2005. Our members live in the Indian Wells Valley at the southern end of the Bristlecone Chapter’s geographically large territory.

Usually we meet on the first Wednesday at the Maturango Museum (100 E. Las Flores, Ridgecrest) at 7 pm. Sometimes we have a speaker/program; other times we work on projects and plans (including field trips in our area).

For current information about our activities, please contact Kathy LaShure, subchapter coordinator: (desert_encelia@verizon.net or 760-377-4541). We have an email notification list for current activities.

In the Spring of 2008 the Creosote Ring produced guides to four local wildflower hotspots:

Indian Wells Canyon
Short Canyon
Rademacher Hills
Inyokern/Brown Roads

Each brochure also includes when to go, how to get there & a short description of the most noteworthy wildflowers to be seen. A fifth brochures features information on the most common Mojave Desert shrubs. Please click on any link for a printable PDF of these guides.
