After paying the admission fee, we parked at the ranch and went on a mainly self-guided exploration. My wife and I decided to spend a day at Red Rock Canyon and on the way back to Las Vegas, stopped at Spring Mountain Ranch State Park. Picnic area does not allow grills (cold food everyone) Give his position to someone who is courteous and helpful to the public. The old coot should retire or be retrained but at his age that wouldn't help. She represented very well what a Ranger truly is in helping the public. There was a second ranger and I asked her questions and she was very polite and helpful. I asked when the Ranch House would be open and once again in a rude and conceding tone told me. I said no and he said in a rude tone that the parking lot is down there and you cant park here. I parked and got out with my grandson and immediately a ranger Older man with a grey/white beard )who was just about to leave in his Park Ranger truck came walking up to me and asked if I was handicapped. Did not notice the parking lot signs because I was looking to my right where the mountains were.
Made the mistake by parking at the lot at the ranch.
