Springs Preserve

Springs Preserve is a 180-acre cultural institution and botanical garden that opened in 2007 on the site of the Las Vegas Springs, the original water source for the valley. The preserve includes museum exhibits, rotated art installations, walking trails and seasonal events that are frequently photographed and shared on social media. Its landscaped trails and desert botanical collections are popular with local and visiting photographers for sunrise and sunset images. The site serves as an educational center for Mojave Desert ecology and local history.
