The Springs Preserve here in Vegas likes to get dolled up for different holidays throughout the year and they try to be inclusive of the multitude of different cultures living together in the valley too, which is great! Whether you're a member like Antho and I or just a regular visitor going for a spontaneous outing you can expect to stroll up to occasionally discover a themed entrance appropriate for the most timely celebration, and during this trip out we found the Preserve dressed up for Dia De Muertos, an event celebrating beloved ancestors and family members in Latin cultures. The decorations are not the only way they celebrate as there are also fun activities and live events, music, food and crafts going on during the 2 day celebration! This year the event will be November 2nd through the 4th and you can learn more here. It's advised to get your tickets ahead of time! We didn't go for the paid event as we aren't particularly familiar with the celebration and we weren't there at the right time, anyhow. During our visit, the decorations were the only thing really going on and the preserve was pretty quiet. This was fine by us as we enjoyed strolling around in the late-afternoon light and checking out some of the hiking trails we hadn't yet ventured out to in prior trips. There's several routes you can take through the more open and natural side of the preserve, and we enjoyed our visit quite a bit. We definitely didn't see every trail or every thing there was to see out there, but it was a lovely use of an afternoon. I hope you enjoy the photos! Cheers.
Until next time!
XOXO,
NAU
