Horse Boarding Stables

 

 

The joy and adventure of visiting Bonnie Springs Ranch really begins as soon as you start from Las Vegas. In the thirty minutes it'll take you to reach our town, you'll experience a desert wonderland of cacti, plants, and unique trees: The Yucca, the Barrel Cactus, the Prickly Pear, and the Joshua. You will see what is called "The Lord's Candle". the long stem that grows out of the center will burn for hours like a torch. The prospectors and settlers used them for light long before lanterns were abundant or even available.

When you reach Bonnie Springs, you'll see that we are nestled at the foot of majestic peaks. the colorful bluffs are a monument of historic mysteries. in fact, from the porch of our museum you'll see a door-like slab carved in the face of one of our peaks. the logical speculation is that it was an Indian altar but no one knows for sure. It is these things, however, and things like this that make a visit to Old Nevada so wonderfully unusual and so enjoyable to young and old alike.

If you're lucky you will see some of Nevada's wild life that roams free beyond the canyon walls. There are wild donkeys, horses, coyotes, polecats, badger, deer, elk, and big horn sheep. And, along with the poisonous sidewinder and green Mojave, there is the only poisonous lizard in the United States - The Gila Monster.

Inside Old Nevada you'll find no false fronts. We pride ourselves in being a real town. Along with our western town, saloon, and shops, there is also a free petting zoo, our famous Bonnie Springs Ranch Restaurant, and horseback riding for the whole family. At Bonnie Springs Old Nevada, we boast a very special enchantment - You don't look at the Old West, you live it!
