WINNEMUCCA, Nev. – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Winnemucca District and partner organizations Friends of Black Rock-High Rock (FBR), Friends of Nevada Wilderness and Nevada Outdoor School are hosting the annual Black Rock Rendezvous event May 26-29 at the Black Rock Desert.
The three-day, family-friendly event includes public lands service projects, guest speakers, a “kids camp,” guided natural and cultural interpretive tours and a Dutch oven cook-off on Saturday night. "We are excited to offer new tours and guest speakers this year, such as trails expert and author Ken Johnston presenting and leading a Nobles Trail tour," says Michael Myers, Executive Director of FBR.
