A Mountain Experience for Everyone
Not everyone feels they can get out on a trail and hike up to the top of a mountain, but there are places almost everyone can feel they're at the top of the world. Driving west from Van Horn, there's a scenic overlook that offers a FANTASTIC view. If you can climb a flight of stairs, it will take you five minutes or less to get to the top. On the way up, you walk through high mountain desert habitat; you can see lizards and birds and walk around cactus. I'm in my sixties now, and it is an easy walk for me. Even though you're right next to I-10, once you get to the top, you don't feel like you're next to a freeway. You're right in the mountains and the view is GREAT!
