Some of the most common bird species at Cactus Springs include Common Ravens, House Flinches, as well as Mourning Doves. This landscape also attracts migratory bird species, among them accipiters and warblers. Look out for the springs in the area – an oasis in the heart of the desert landscape. The springs are mostly pools but lack running water& – except for the wetter months.
Away from its natural aspect, Cactus Springs is also the perfect place to watch aircraft, thanks to its proximity to the Creech Air Force Base. It is not uncommon to spot drone aircraft and even more advanced military planes like bombers. On a good day, visitors may be able to spot aerial demonstration teams in action.
The Temple of Sekhmet is one of the region’s popular attractions. The temple was built in 1933 by peace activist Genevieve Vaughan. The temple’s sacred space is built on the principles of Peace and Goddess Spirituality and is open daily between 8am and 6pm. Most importantly, night visits and rituals are strictly by appointment. This fertility shrine also hosts the yearly Sacred Peace Walk.
