| Tucked away
in a remote Mojave Desert Canyon you will find a green oasis called
China Ranch.
This is a working farm located 85 miles west of Las Vegas, Nevada,
off Highway 127. China Ranch is a nice side trip when you visit
Death Valley National Park. You can stock up on date nut bread,
muffins or cookies, or take home hand-crafted gifts. There are several
hiking trails near the ranch. October through April are the best
months to hike. Summer temperatures are extreme in the Mojave Desert.
Camping, R. V. spaces, and are available at nearby Tecopa. There
is also the The Ranch House Inn an historic bed and breakfast cottage
located on the ranch. When visiting be prepared. Always take water,
wear a hat and sunscreen. |
