| | Birding Around Las Vegas, Pahranagat Valley, Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge |
 | | Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge, administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, covers 5,380 acres along a ten-mile section of Pahranagat Valley. |
 | | The refuge includes a spring-fed riparian valley corridor with a series of broad, shallow lakes, brushy thickets, bulrush and cattail marshes, native grass meadows, and large cottonwood trees, all of which are surrounded by Mojave Desert scrub. |
 | | Historically, the White River flowed through the Pahranagat Valley, but now the riverbed generally is dry and water in the valley comes from large, thermal springs. |
