How the desert sets your day

Henderson walks start early and end late

Henderson sits in the Mojave Desert. July highs average around 104°F and often pass 110°F, and the city gets about 4.5 inches of rain a year, so sun is the thing that sets your schedule. Summer routes run at dawn or after sunset. Before each walk, press a hand to the asphalt: it burns paws long after the air feels bearable. Winter looks different. Snowbirds and retirees fill Sun City Anthem and Anthem, and their dogs need drop-ins and daycare while regulars are away. A large share of Henderson residents speak Spanish, so a walker who can talk with those owners tends to get rebooked.
