Tips from the community

An isolated unit of the park, Rattlesnake Springs is an historic homestead and fruit orchard established by William Henry Harrison in 1880. The irrigation system developed by Harrison turned the homestead into an oasis in the desert. With many Pueblo Revival structures still standing, Rattlesnake Springs is a scenic National Historic Site that is worth a visit.
