Carnegie Public Library

Reviewed By enchantmentadm1912 - Albuquerque, United States

I love this library because it reminds me of the Carnegie Library in Gloversville, New York where I grew up. There is reading room with books with western and New Mexico themes. This is a very special place. If I go to Las Vegas, it is usually on weekends. So, I wish they would expand their weekend hours.

Las Vegas National Wildlife Refuge

Reviewed By 914jeane

We've been to Wildlife Refuge before but on this trip the Ranger at the visitor center told us of the Galinas Nature Trail. It's just a short drive within the park and is an approximately 2 mile trail that is spectacular! Many thanks to Ranger Anna for the suggestion of the hike. It's so cool. You start out in the grasslands, pass some ranching ruins/structure, come upon a little canyon - so beautiful! The hike then takes you down and across the canyon and loops back to the grasslands back to your car. The trail is a little steep in some areas, but so worth the trip!

Storrie Lake State Park

Reviewed By 453kaytp - Las Vegas, United States

I truly enjoy taking my kayak to Storrie Lake. While I occasionally prefer quieter and smaller mountain lakes, Storrie has beautiful scenery, a larger lake with a large shallow area very suitable for kayaks, away from motorized boats as well as the pleasure of interacting with the many families who come to the lake for quiet time at the lakeside. Nearby Las Vegas, New Mexico offers many entertainment, shopping, sight seeing, and eating options for those camping at the lake.
