As if a mirage, inlaid between several jutting, mountainous peaks, rests a sight that seems to be absorbed in its own legend. A community that has sprung up around a battered prison complex, obviously having witnessed its own share of defeats as well as victories, sits in a grassy field. Even the withered, faded sign, set across from the prison over a distance of several hundred yards, doesn’t need to dictate what this position is to weary travelers. The New Nevada Ranger Center. Worn-down, but not forgotten. Battered, but not broken. A place for civilization to start again. A place for hope.
The Ranger Center is the home of the Desert Rangers and the Ranger Center community.
