As part of my
What Goes Around Spins Around Las Vegas Trip Report, I covered my trip to the fabulous Spring Mountain Ranch State Park.
It's a wonderful getaway, and an easy drive from the Las Vegas strip - its just 15 miles west of town. Winning at the tables? Take a getaway and keep from giving it back. Losing at the tables? Take a break from losing!
I greatly enjoyed hiking on the trails around the Ranch, and learning about its history. Here's a pictorial view of my day.

| What a great place for a picnic! |
 |
| Just a closet in the ranch house? |
 |
| The closet hides a secret passage to a private suite. |
 |
| Howard Hughes' bar. |
 |
| The hiking is fantastic here. |
 |
| The oldest structures in the valley can be found here. |
 |
| Lake Harriet and surrounding wetlands flourish in the desert, thanks to the springs. |
 |
| Did outlaws use these caves in the canyon?... |
I encourage you to learn more about this wonderful park, and take some time out from your next Vegas visit to have a picnic or do some hiking. It will do your spirit good!
