Did you know that ponderosa pines are known to smell like vanilla and butterscotch? Scientists believe that this sweet scent comes from a chemical in the sap, that when heated by the sun releases the delightful aroma. Inviting participants to walk up and take a sniff is one of our favorite parts of guiding hikes. Thanks to your generous support, kids from all over Nevada can meaningfully connect with their public lands. Become a member of Southern Nevada Conservancy today for the price of a couple lattes, and next time you find yourself hiking through these towering trees, try it out for yourself!
