The Las Vegas Strip doesn't only have hotels and casinos. 25 miles north of Las Vegas, enjoy the company of desert animals at the Desert National Wildlife Refuge Complex. The complex consists of four refuges located in southern Nevada: Desert National Wildlife Refuge, Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge, Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, Moapa Valley National Wildlife Refuge, and the Amargosa Pupfish Station. Explore the refuge and identify Over 500 species of plants in landscapes varying from saltbrush on the valley floors to ponderosa pine, white fir, and bristlecone pine at the highest elevations. The wide variety of vegetative communities provides ideal habitat for many birds, mammals, and reptiles, so keep your eyes open.
