The Labyrinth's of Laughlin - a Journey to Center...

RIDING DOWN THOMAS EDISON DRIVE IN Nevada outside the town of Laughlin, the surroundings may appear unassuming. Travelers would be surprised to learn that tucked away in the desert are a series of labyrinths meant to inspire serenity.

Created by Wes Dufek, the Laughlin Labyrinths was designed to help visitors find their peaceful center. There are nine labyrinths, each within a quarter mile radius of each other and ranging from 25 to 55 feet. Recently, a 36-foot and 7-circuit square labyrinth has been added to the site.

The Laughlin Labyrinths and surrounding desert scenery create a calming experience for those who take the time to walk the mazes. “They have done a multitude of studies on the effects of labyrinths on the human body and the brain,” said Dufek in an interview with the Laughlin tourism board. “Every time you take a left and a right turn, it will shift your brain. It will calm you, and it just helps you center.”

For those wishing to travel as a group, we will be meeting up at 10:00am in Henderson (see schedule for location). 

The journey will begin at 10:30 getting us into Laughlin approximately Noon.
