My favorite place to visit in LAs Vegas. About 20 minutes from the strip, this place is beautiful and peaceful. There are many different hikes- most around 1 mike, none particularly challenging imo. On weekdays this place remains peaceful throughout the day, but on weekends the grassy area starts filling up quickly. I have noticed that much fewer people bother going up past the pasture and to the (now empty) lake and the upper hikes so you can still escape people up there. A tour of the ranch house is quick and a nice little treat. The park hosts a lot of different events, from morning yoga to civil war experiences to holiday extravaganzas so check out their Facebook page. I highly recommend their (usually) bi-monthly night hikes.
