Cave Creek Museum: “The Boulders at The Boulders Aren’t Really Boulders”

Cave Creek, AZ. – On Saturday, January 31, 2026, from 2-4 PM, Cave Creek Museum will feature geologist Stephanie Bradley on the subject “The Boulders at The Boulders Aren’t Really Boulders.”

According to JoAnn Stuckey, the museum’s executive director, popular guest speaker and museum member Stephanie Bradley will give an overview of the geology of the Desert Foothills. If the boulders at The Boulders aren’t really boulders, what are they? Why is Black Mountain black? And why do saguaros mostly grow on the west slope? What kind of precious minerals lurk under the earth that drove prospectors to our region? Bradley will bring ancient geology to life in the museum’s historic church.

Reservations are required as this has been a standing room only event for the past five years. Members are free and non-members can enjoy the program for a $10 admission ticket. Register at cavecreekmuseum.org. No culture passes.

The 55-year-old museum’s mission is to preserve the artifacts of the prehistory, history, culture and legacy of the Cave Creek Mining District and the Cave Creek/Carefree foothills area through education, research and interpretive exhibits.
