Beauty ~ Nature ~ History
This beautiful park is located just outside of Red Rock and worth the $7 admission fee ($10 for non Vegas locals). It's always 10-15 degrees cooler here then it is in Vegas so keep that in mind.
Established in 1876 there's a lot of rich history here and the home that is still in the park has had some interesting characters as owners. Stop in and read the cool stories and take a few minutes to take the house tour. There's a very cool hidden passage from one room to another and lots of antiques.
You can also find a large park here, picnic tables, gift shop, multiple trails to hike, a lake, a creek, family cemetery, historical sandstone cabins and amazing views in all directions. Walk up to the overlook trail to see the 520 acre oasis to appreciate its beauty.
I can only imagine how amazing it must have been to live here and call this place your home back in the day before it became a state park. Glad to see places like this preserved!
