An informative center staffed by welcoming rangers/volunteers. Thirty minutes north of Spring Mountains Visitor Gateway. This center is an oasis in the middle of the desert. There’s short informative walks on hiker friendly paths. Recommend if you have some extra time in the area.
This place is overlooked by many hikers not much hiking to do here, but it’s beautiful
Easy trail to navigate, absolutely stunning views. We were there on a Tuesday, the office was closed, but a park employee was doing maintenance and was super friendly and helpful. Amazing place, if you like trails, this is a must drive. I would recommend having a little clearance under your vehicle, but the trail was clearly marked and maintained.
First time visiting this little gem.
Visitor center was closed because of the holiday.
Great place to go for a stroll solo or with the family. Dog friendly.
This is a hidden gem and we are so glad we decided to explore what was out here because we discovered this beautiful refuge. The visiting center was great and definitely take time to watch the 17 minute video that repeats every half hour. There are fun challenges throughout the visiting center which make it fun to learn for both kids and adults. There are some walking paths around the visiting center to explore and see some wonderful wildlife. There are picnic tables too so pack a lunch and come bird watch. If you have a sturdy wheelchair you could push it around the paths, but know it is gravel. We look forward to renting a 4x4 and driving out to explore the fossils and more hidden gems. If you want to relax and get away from all the noise, this is the place to go.
