Review:

If you ever wonder how a life in the ranch would feel, the park located adjacent to the cliffs of Red Rock Canyon, has full-costume re-enactments of earlier settlers? and famous past owners? lives, as well as the string of events that occurred in the area. Parents should never miss this learning opportunity for the kids.

The 520-acre estate was developed into a ranch and a vacation house that was later used to raise cattle and cows as well as the rodents, chinchillas. You will find the main ranch house itself, blacksmith?s shop, the chinchillas shed, cabins, and even the Wilson cemetery. The ranch also attracts tourists by the outdoor ?Super Summer Theater? featuring musicals and plays

The bounty of springs was used to be the watering-hole for American Indian?s vegetation. Although found in the desert state, the area is 10-15 degrees cooler than Las Vegas that encouraged diverse plant species to grow, seen both in rainforests and deserts ? marigold, indigo bush, and globe mallow, to name a few. Animals like rabbits, squirrels, deer, and foxes can also be found especially at nighttime.
