  • Yelp 100 Challenge * 79/100 Armed with the knowledge that closing times are cut short during the hotter months, one of my galpals and I came here on the first day of summer to delight in the valley's naturistic sites while 120 degree days were weeks away. We got to the preserve a little later than we intended. By 10:30am, many of the birds have already taken cover in outlying areas and most of what were left were eared grebes & northern pintails who kept themselves cool in the ponds. We might've spotted a gambel's quail couple scurrying to cross one pavement but didn't make it in time to snap a picture. Fortunately, we got to spend time with a cute verdin who kept flapping back and forth to check up on its nest. By 11:30am, we were forced to hit the shade next to the visitor center or else we'd come home smelling like roast turkeys. It didn't take us long to encircle the preserve. All you'd need to do is follow the concrete path and you'll come across ponds 1-3. Short route but not a lot of birds to see. On the other hand, you can choose to veer off and take the dirt path to reach ponds 4-9. We were told that they are more active. My friend and I had a lot of fun and felt like we were well away from the Vegas we know. The preserve was quiet, peaceful and provided the well-needed company of serene wildlife. However, I believe the preserve could improve people's enjoyment level more by adding a little more shade. Many benches lined the paths, but they did not look too comfortable under the 90-ish degree sunlight. I understand that budget cuts are a problem (according to the guy at the visitor center) so for you (and your children's) safety, wear a ton of sunblock and come in the wee hours of the morning. They do open at 6am in the summer!
