Why You Should Visit the China Ranch Date Farm

2. Engaging Network of Hiking Trails

The ranch boasts an extensive network of engaging trails varying in lengths and suitable for all age brackets. The six main trails range between a few hundred yards and several miles for experienced hikers. The Creek Trail is the easiest and most child-friendly, with the 2.5-mile Mesa trail being the most engaging. Here you get to witness lots of wildlife, from plants to animals. You could spot a fox, bobcat, jackrabbit, coyote, or cottontail if you're lucky. You also stand a chance to see the Nevada speckled dace, which is a rare native fish. Even better, the trails end up in the ridges, so you can enjoy the spectacular views of the ranch below.
