  Welcome to the Sisterhood Series Challenge! February's theme: Love Well--Cowgirl Style.

  This year-long experience was created for one simple reason: none of us were meant to do life alone.

  At 40 Something Cowgirls, sisterhood is the heartbeat of who we are. It’s showing up, lifting each other up, caring for ourselves and our communities, and choosing connection over isolation.

  Each month, you’ll be invited into a new, optional challenge focused on encouragement, reflection, service, and growth. No pressure. No perfection. Loud or quiet, public or private — it all counts.

  ✨ What to expect throughout the year:
  • Monthly challenges
  • Opportunities to log experiences and share stories
  • Monthly Zoom gatherings
  • Fun surprises and small rewards along the way
  • End-of-year recognition for those who walk the full journey

  This isn’t about doing more.
  It’s about doing life together.

  Learn more and join the Sisterhood Series here.

  Wherever you are right now, you belong here.
  Let’s rise together, cowgirls.

• Columbia Basin WA - LIGO Tour

  • When
    March 14, 2026
  • Location
    LIGO Hanford Observatory 127124 N Route 10 Richland, WA 99354

  Register

  Tour Information:

  Tours include a walking tour of the site, time inside the new LIGO Exploration Center (LExC), and a talk by a staff member. Tours typically last 1.5 hours. Multiple tour times are available for your convenience, please choose the time slot that works best for you when reserving your ticket.

  Future Tours:

  LIGO does Second Saturday Public Tours on the second Saturday of every month, except December and January. Tickets are reserved online via our website here: https://www.ligo.caltech.edu/WA/page/lho-public-tours. Tickets open the Monday following the second Saturday tour for the next month.

  What will I see?

  During your visit you will have a chance to explore the interactive and static exhibits in the LIGO Exploration Center (LExC), including the historic Weber Bar (one of the earliest devices designed to detect gravitational waves) and a full-scale engineering model of one of initial LIGO's suspension tables, showcasing not only the evolution of LIGO, but gravitational-wave detection as a whole. You will also visit the one point on the site where you can see both of the interferometer's 4km-long arms reaching into the Eastern Washington shrub-steppe. A highlight for many guests is the interferometer's control room, where you will learn even more about LIGO directly from the people who maintain and operate the world's most sensitive measuring device. Questions enthusiastically welcome!

  Additional things to note:

  • Visitors do not require any special badging to visit LIGO.
  • Entry begins 15 minutes before your scheduled tour time.
  • The outdoor walking tour lasts about one hour. Guests should dress for the season and wear comfortable walking shoes. The total distance of the walking tour is about three quarters of a mile.
  • With the summer heat, we encourage guests to bring water and sun protection.
  • While rare, in the case of excessive heat, inclement weather, or air quality issues, observatory staff may decide to cancel the tour.
  • Photographs are welcome on site. However, we kindly request that you do not record/video staff members without their permission.
  • LIGO tours are suitable for all ages. The talks are geared toward visitors aged 12 and up, but all ages are welcome.
  • LIGO’s facilities are wheelchair accessible, though you will encounter two slopes during the site tour itself.
