Pink Jeeps Tours takes you back in time, where the colorful history of the Old West comes to life in Eldorado Canyon, home to the famed Techatticup mine. On the short journey to this rustic site, you'll enjoy spectacular scenery: fields of teddy bear cholla, rare geologic formations, and an excellent photo opportunity down near the banks of Lake Mojave, the blue jewel of this isolated desert terrain. On your professionally guided tour of the mine you will hear stories of the back-breaking work done by prospectors over a century ago as they chased gold veins deep into this rugged mountainside, as well as listen to tales of yesteryear's gunfights and lawlessness of this once-frontier territory. The tour lasts 4 hours. Review © 2009, Wcities |

Enjoy the trout pond |
3333 West Washington Ave Las Vegas, NV 89107 United States +1 702 229 6297 / +1 702 229 6571 http://www.lasvegasnevada.gov/... |
One of the oldest parks in Las Vegas, the place does show its age a bit with its metal playground equipment, but the kids love it. A popular feature is the fishing pond, which, although sometimes algae-covered, is accessible year-round and stocked with rainbow trout in winter and catfish in summer. The pond limit is three fish per day. This park is also home to the Nevada State Museum and Historical Society, a great learning experience for all ages. There are barbeque facilities and bathrooms-- the park is more of a place for relaxation than active exercise, but adventurous types can go for a swim. Admission to the park is free.

Mount Charleston |
3629 West Hacienda Avenue Las Vegas, NV 89118 United States +1 702 895 6777 http://www.pinkjeep.com |
Mt. Charleston is extraordinary any time of year, with each season unveiling its own unique grandeur. This exciting tour lasts 4 hours and takes you through the Toiyabe National Forest into a majestic alpine setting. A stop at the charming Mount Charleston Lodge, nestled amid a forest of ponderosa pines, is spectacular. Views of the jagged, towering cliffs, encompassed by the fir, spruce and aspen trees makes this landscape simply gorgeous. Descending through Kyle Canyon, the tour takes you off the highway for an excursion through the desert that exposes the true natural beauty of this one-of-a-kind region. Temperatures are approximately 20-30 degrees cooler than Las Vegas, so layered clothing is recommended. Review © 2009, Wcities |
 Red Rock Canyon |
State Route 159 from Charleston Boulevard (17 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip) Las Vegas, NV 89124 United States +1 702 363 1921 (Information) http://www.redrockcanyonlv.org/ |
RRCNCA, located just a few miles west of Las Vegas, is named for the deep red 3,000-foot-high sandstone cliffs that are perched above the dusty wastelands of this part of the Mojave Desert. The view from any part of the park is breathtaking: mostly nature fills the view, but from some points you can make out the entire Las Vegas Strip in the distance! If the temperature is extremely hot, climbing/hiking/bicycling throughout the park is not recommended; instead, opt to drive around the park (expect to pay a small fee for motorized vehicles) along a 13-mile paved loop. A visitor's center provides information on area history, geology, flora and fauna (visitors may encounter burros, big horn sheep or desert tortoises). You can also pick up a map of the park with detailed hiking routes (beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels). Rangers offer guided tours at no charge -- see website for schedules.

Valley of Fire State Park |
Interstate 15 North on exit 75, P. O. Box 515 (Six miles from Lake Mead) Overton, NV 89040 United States +1 702 397 2088 http://www.parks.nv.gov/vf.htm |
Spectacular red sandstone makes this a scenic desert wonder. This State Park has been a Nevada landmark since the 1930s, and is home to many desert animals. On the cave walls you will see Indian petroglyphs, still remarkably preserved after hundreds of years of erosion from dust and wind. The drive is just over 50-miles northwest of Las Vegas, and at sunset produces a memorable photographic opportunity. Check with the visitor center for details of the park, as well as souvenirs.

The true majesty of Zion National Park is unveiled in spectacular fashion on Pink Jeep Tours, where you explore a region that the Virgin River has sculpted into a profound landscape masterpiece. This river was responsible for slowly paring through layers of ageless rock to produce Zion Canyon. Here, Mother Nature's artistry is evident everywhere you look. High plateaus, striking towers, temples, mesas, and the earth's tallest-known sheer sandstone walls surround you with their awe-inspiring beauty. You'll encounter breathtaking features at picturesque places like the Court of the Patriarchs, Angel's Landing, The Great White Throne, Temple of Sinawava, and Weeping Rock. Zion National Park is truly a photographer's paradise, where the vistas are stunning from every point on the compass. Tours last 9-10 hours. Review © 2009, Wcities |
