Historic Spring Mound is a short, easy hike within the Las Vegas Springs Preserve in Nevada, about 1.5 miles from the community of Eastland Heights. The route is just 0.04 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 12 feet, so it is a quick stop rather than a full-day outing. Spring is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show March highs around 70°F and April highs near 78°F, while July averages climb to about 104°F. The mound sits close to several other short trails. Path to Boomtown and Cienega are each about 0.1 mile away, and Exploration Loop is about 0.3 mile off. For a longer outing, the Bob Baskin Park fitness trail is about 1.5 miles away.
