👍👍 I absolutely love going to the Corn Creek Visitor center. There are a lot of trails to walk around there and see interesting exhibits inside. There's a nice clean bathroom. There is a shop inside and there are many, many driving trails and hiking.

Arizona's Joshua Tree Forest
Nature preserve
👍👍 Tiny place. Super cool! We passed this place on the way to/from Grand Canyon West. It only takes 10-15 minutes but is so worth it. Our visit just happened to coincide with a spectacular AZ sunset.

Gilcrease Nature Sanctuary image

Gilcrease Nature Sanctuary
Animal protection organization
👍👍 I’ll have to return when it isn’t so hot, as most animals understandably wanted to sleep/hide away in the shade (which I assumed going in). $10 entrance fee per person to a sanctuary isn’t asking much. The cost to feed animals is not cheap plus the cost to operate in general. Nice staff and it meant...

Mt. Charleston Wilderness image

Mt. Charleston Wilderness
Nature preserve
👍👍 Like its neighbor toward the west, California, Nevada is one of a handful of the spots where you can downhill ski in the first part of the day and sit by the pool in the early evening. Maybe the simplest spot to check this out is in Las Vegas. In under 60 minutes, you can progress from the warm, dry...

Providence Mountains State Recreation Area
Nature preserve
👍👍 A little known, hidden gem in the middle of nowhere, this 2 hour tour is very much worth with the visit. Our tour guide, Will, is personable and humorous. The pathway to the cavern was just recently built or renovated within a year or so. This place was privately owned and hand-built by a couple who...

Veyo Pool Resort image

Veyo Pool Resort
Public swimming pool
👍👍 We moved here a couple years ago from FL and miss the springs. My husband took me there for Mothers Day. This was a nice surprise! The water was very inviting & cool but not warm. The bug hunt in the pool was great to keep our daughter busy. We didn’t see any crawdads. I think if the river was calme...
