Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument is a new National Park Service area that was designated in December 2014. The Cork Creek Road Trailhead serves the northern end of the National Monument. There are no trails, but visitors are invited to hike and explore the area. Wander about the white, mud hills and look for bones sticking out of the ground, but leave them in place for researchers to recover.

A 3-panel kiosk provides information about Ice-Age history, local geology, and caring for the environment and the plants and animals who live here.

This trailhead is located a few miles northwest of the Las Vegas urban area. From Las Vegas, drive north on Highway 95 passing the turnoffs to Mt. Charleston and the Las Vegas Paiute Indian Reservation (the highway goes under an overpass here). About 6 miles past the overpass, the turnoff to Corn Creek is marked by a brown refuge sign, a yellow Corn Creek Road sign, and a paved road heading east across the desert. Turn right; this is Corn Creek Road.
