Today visitors can explore some of the oldest buildings in Nevada, a 1860s blacksmith shop, the Sandstone Cabin that was home to the founding family and the ranch house. Sprawling and splendid, Spring Mountain Ranch State Park is adjacent to the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and has been used historically as a working ranch and a luxury retreat by a string of colorful owners, including German actress Vera Krupp and millionaire Howard Hughes. With miles of riding trails in a magnificent desert setting, a herd of beautiful, well-trained horses, and a staff of proffessional wrangler-guides, our ranch beckons to our guests who want to leave the city and the 21st Century behind. Planning to visit Red Rock Canyon? While set apart from the Las Vegas valley enough that visitors should pack supplies and a full tank of gas, there are other stops in the canyon worth noting to potentially add to your itinerary!
