SPRING MOUNTAINS VISITOR GATEWAY GROUP PICNIC SITES

The Spring Mountains National Recreation Area is a beautiful island in the desert, brimming with breathtaking scenery and diverse flora and fauna. The Bristlecone pine, the world's oldest organism, and the rare Mount Charleston blue butterfly are both found within the Spring Mountains. More than 100 springs create the namesake for the mountain range, making it an ideal place to escape the heat of the city.

Recreation: The picnic areas are near a visitor center, two amphitheaters and 40 miles of trails. The Silent Heroes of the Cold War National Memorial is also on the same property. The picnic areas are a short drive from camping areas and scenic outlooks.
