The pictures here are all from the Spring Mountain National Recreation Area, located just to the west of Las Vegas. At 316,000 acres, this area ranges in elevation from 2,600' to 11,918', making this the perfect summer escape of high temperatures and a winter wonderland of snow and skiing in the middle of the low desert.
