This is a beautiful spot just north of Vegas. Geologically it is very interesting with plenty of rock formations to look at and there are plenty of hiking trails to go on too. The place is pretty packed on weekends. No wonder!
There is a great visitor center to browse and learn about the ecology of the park. Great views and plenty to walk and gawk. Definitely recommend this place to visit in the cooler months. Not sure it will be so great in the heat of summer.
