North Las Vegas runs out into the Mojave north of the city, where the desert takes over fast. The washes and desert edges hold Gambel’s quail, desert cottontails, and roadrunners, antelope ground squirrels dart across the open gravel, and Harris’s and red-tailed hawks hunt from the power poles. Nearby the Sheep Range rises into pinyon-juniper with desert bighorn on the slopes.
