Spring Mountain Ranch State Park abuts Red Rock Canyon State Park to the south. It is our fourth Nevada State Park this week and we can’t help but me impressed with all this untouched land set aside for nature seekers. Spring Mountain Ranch State Park is 528 acres of Desert scrub, Black brush, Pinyon-Juniper and Riparian plant communities. Not only has this land been walked by Native Americans, thousands of years later it was used as a ranch and so has some of the oldest buildings in Nevada. We hiked instead of exploring the buildings so now we will have to return to see the old blacksmith shop and sandstone cabin. There is too much to discover in Nevada for a week long trip, but we are trying.
