This tour is a great combination with Mount Charleston and/or Valley of Fire or as a stand alone short trip. If it’s pristine Mojave Desert you seek within close reach of Las Vegas it doesn’t get any better than the Desert National Wildlife Refuge. It's one of Las Vegas’ best kept natural secrets. Beginning at Corn Creek, a natural spring similar to that which Las Vegas was founded around, we venture into the limestone mountains of the Sheep Range so named for its abundance of Desert Bighorn Sheep. Although they are reclusive, you might just get lucky! We can increase our chances if you would like to photo hunt around one of the guzzlers (water sorurce) installed by the Fish and Wildlife Service. See the huge hole eroded out of the mountainside. Witness the magnificent flora as well! There are some magnificent flowers in Spring and Summer.  If you like we can take a longer hike to the Hidden Forest a beautiful isolated stand of Ponderosas. There are several choices of camp here as well including the Ponderosa Pines at Mormon Well or Sawmill Wash.
