The Gilcrease Orchard
Orchard · Las Vegas · Nevada
Sixty acres of you-pick orchard in northwest Las Vegas, run since 1997 by the non-profit Gilcrease Orchard Foundation on land the Gilcrease brothers farmed from the 1970s. Ted called it his "pick and pay" orchard; fall brings apples, a pumpkin patch, corn maze and wagon rides.
