11/19 Wetlands in Las Vegas

 A friend of mine who lives in Las Vegas has been periodically posting photos of a wetland in this city.  Hard to believe anything is very wet, but there is a big wash in this valley, and it feeds this unusual area.  I did not have time for much walking as I needed to head to the airport, but I will be back in a week or so and spend more time.  

This is the very large visitor and education center. 

 

Some very nice displays 



Most of this several mile long trail is paved, which makes it nice for handicap and those of us who do not like to get dusty.  Lots of willows growing because the water is trickling by in streams and the rest is not very far below ground level. 






 
Nice view of the mountains in the distance. 

 
And a good view of the city of Las Vegas.  



Lots of birds and even some ducks, but more photos when I come back here again.

  1. Glad you got to go there. I haven't been in the visitor center, we walk usually before it is open. But want to go there, looks interesting
