Desert National Wildlife Refuge is the largest refuge in the lower 48 states. It was established in 1936 for conservation of wildlife habitat and particularly for desert bighorn sheep. Access to the Visitor Center is via Corn Creek Road (paved road) from US 95. The visitor center is open 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Thursday - Monday; but trails are open daily, daylight hours only. Access beyond the visitor center to the rest of the refuge requires a high clearance vehicle with good tires. Roads are infrequently maintained and can be hazardous. Cell coverage is extremely limited so do not rely on this for communication purposes.
