Ice Age Fossils State Park explains a prehistoric wetland landscape on the northern edge of North Las Vegas.
Visitor-center exhibits introduce the extinct animals and scientific discoveries associated with the Upper Las Vegas Wash, while outdoor interpretation connects those stories with the terrain. The photograph shows a camel exhibit in the visitor center.
The park currently carries a trail-closure notice following storm damage, so confirm available routes with park staff before planning a hike. Check operating days, entry arrangements, and conditions in the wash. Fossils and other natural or historical objects must remain undisturbed.
