In Short – Nestled at the base of the Spring Mountains in Red Rock Canyon is a little oasis last owned by billionaire Las Vegas legend Howard Hughes before it was turned over to the state of Nevada. Expansive lawns are marked by bright white, wooden fences, and the views from the ranch house are magnificent. The park is open year-round, with picnic tables and restrooms available for those who want to make a day of it.
