TOM’S TOP 3 HIKES In the Las Vegas Valley Many of us have been spending a lot of time outdoors during the COVID-19 lockdown in an attempt to get some
HISTORIC RAILROAD TRAIL (RAILROAD PASS HIKE) Located by Lake Mead, this hike is easy, flat, and family- and pet-friendly, making it a great outing to do with small children or even on a bike. The most interesting features on this trail are the enormous tunnels through the mountain. Workers who built the Hoover Dam used this old railroad path to access the dam. Now, the railroad rails have been removed, and the path is graded flat, which makes it great for family bike rides. LONE MOUNTAIN TRAIL This short summit hike northwest of the city’s center is just inside the Las Vegas Beltway. It is perfect for a quick getaway and workout. It’s truly an urban hike because the mountain is located in the city. The summit, about 600 feet, gives an incredible view of the valley and surrounding mountains. The trail is a bit steep but short, making it doable with kids and pets. However, there are a few spots on the hike that are somewhat dangerous, so be sure to keep a close eye on those you bring along. Keep these trails in mind and give yourself something to look forward when you feel the need to get out of the house!
fresh air. Thankfully, the Las Vegas area has plenty of hiking trails you can enjoy with your family. Of the many that I’ve explored over the years, these three are some local favorites just a few minutes out of town. KRAFT MOUNTAIN LOOP (GATEWAY CANYON LOOP) This hike is located in the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, but unlike the popular Red Rock Canyon Loop trail, it’s a lot less crowded and doesn’t require an entry fee, which is why I like it so much. The hike, a little over 3 miles, borders Calico Basin, a petrified sand dune, and can be hiked in either direction. If you start the hike traveling north, it runs up steep slopes to a saddle with great views of the Red Rock and Calico Canyon area below. Then it drops down into a canyon, passing through some easy rock scrambling, seasonal pools, and a few oak tree groves. Though the steep areas may be tough for some, most of the hike is moderate to easy and good for families.
