🌙The 2026 night hike season is about to begin!⭐️
✨Join us on May 9th for the first event in our summer night hike series. This hike is themed after a popular annual event that brings a little extra glow to Southern Nevada. Our twist on the idea is family-friendly, and we encourage hikers to wear their neon and glowing accessories to light up the desert canyons.
🌜The set list is wild and includes the songs of night hawks, burrowing owls, coyotes, and maybe even a sidewinder on percussion. Best of all, it's just $3 for anyone 13 and older, and kids 12 and younger are free!

🎨Art contest voting is LIVE!🖌
🏆In partnership with Protectors of Tule Springs, our annual Paleontology Art Contest awards students in Clark County, NV with cash prizes for their science-savvy artwork - and you get to help us choose the winners!
🐪Stop by the park between now and April 9th to view the stunning submissions from local K-12 students, with the theme of "Prehistoric Nevada."
🦬The park is open Wednesday through Sunday, 8am - 4pm, and the entry fee is $3 for anyone 13 and older. Kids 12 and younger are always free.

Say hello to our little friend...Two-Tooth Tony!!!!

To celebrate our second year of being open we decided to officially name our saber-toothed cat. After several days of voting in person and online, we have tallied the votes and Two-Tooth Tony ended up edging out the other names by a whisker. So next time you stop by the Visitor Center be sure to say hello to Two-Tooth Tony.

Thank you for all the name suggestions and for everyone who voted.
