A nice little loop trail for locals (this is not a tourist destination). There are plenty of benches so you can walk a bit, sit and relax in nature, and then keep walking. I love reading here. There is also a little gazebo halfway down the trail, but I wish they had a table or two in it instead of more benches. This would be a nice spot to eat lunch! The trail is within biking distance of me and has an unprotected bike lane running to it. I requested a bike rack for this reason, and they actually installed one this year! Yay! One thing that could be improved is connectivity. There is a large stretch of road running to the trail with no sidewalk? There is a senior living community right next door that has no walking access to the trail, which I think is a shame. read more

This trail is underwhelming as it seems it was built for the affluent people living around the trail. Its just one big circle and nothing amazing. This place is nice for dogs. The have cute paw prints and its dessert like theme depresses me. The people that walk this trail don't say hi or smile. read more

Hualapai Canyon Trailhead - Parks Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Too too funny that another reviewer says they find the desert theme here depressing. This is my favorite walk in Las Vegas, in part because of the desert landscaping. If you come expecting to Hike, I can see being disappointed, but this is a great spot in town to enjoy desert flora and fauna while taking in both mountain and Strip views from a no-hardcore-footwear-required paved path. It's an 8/10 mile loop with so much to see that just changing direction seems like switching trails. There's parking, frequent benches, human--and canine!-- water fountains, flush toilets, and fairly non-polluting lights at night. Despite the amenities, you still feel as if you're getting Outside. I always see something that brings me joy (a beautiful bloom, quail, bunnies,...), and on rare occasions, I've stumbled onto bigger sights, like coyotes and great horned owls. It's an eyes-wide-open kind of place, where you can show up committing to one go-round but find yourself happily doing multiple loops. read more

It starts with the one entrance that is obscured by shrubbery and rather narrow. Luckily, one can come back around without having to go far. It's a one-way turn in so when i see a spot, I take it! One way, no backing up. Then, there was no soap, sanitizer, hand dryer working, or water working at the sink! Thank goodness there was TP and water in the toilets for flushing! The water fountains were not working either. The trail is very nice. A little less than a mile long loop. Wild life was sorted along my walk including a wild hare. It's nice, but the entrance needs some minor redesign to make it easier to see and pull in. Concerned about there was no water for cleaning hands or drinking. Dint know when I'll return again. I'll check out other nearby walking trails before coming back. It's nice, but needs help IMO. read more

Short, but pretty. Likely to see some wildlife on this one, which is always a treat. One loop is pretty short, but Long enough if you do a 2-4 loops, or more. read more

For a short and sweet paved circular walk with some off-road paths. Fun little scurrying creatures cross your path often. Lots of pink hued sparrows and hummingbirds flutter in the different bushes and trees. About an almost level 10 minute walk. read more

The Hualapai Canyon Trailhead is a nice little walking trail. There are always plenty of little animals scurrying around. During this walk, I noticed a cairn rock pile next to one of the resting points. I added a rock to it so I can be a part of the Hualapai Canyon Trailhead cairn's history. As it is currently spring, flowers around the trail are blooming which makes it a much prettier trail. The rest of the year it's just dead plants and dirt so I love the fact that there are flowers blooming now. It's a very easy walk. I've seen a lot of people over the years walk this trail with strollers. It's very flat. I would agree with the other reviews and say that it's about a 10 minute walk. read more

Probably didn't pick the best day to visit but stopped anyway. Just a simple, little 0.8 trail that is basically a big circle. The Hualapai Canyon itself is off to the right and is not too deep. The trail is completely paved and this is definitely a dog trail as I saw many people with their dogs and plenty of presents if you know what I mean along the trailhead. As a Summerlin resident you are supposed to pick up your dogs mess and place in the MANY receptacles that are located all around this community, but some people don't pay attention to this rule. The parking lot is not large but there are restrooms and trash cans. I walked the whole trail in about 10 minutes with a couple quick stops for pictures. The landscape is filled with different types of cactus, agave plants and other drought tolerant plant life. Unfortunately, winter is not kind to desert plants and they usually look their worst at this time of the year. The views aren't real impressive, at least not on this day but maybe they are better in the sunlight or in the evening. I did see a couple of little bunnies scamper across the trail in front of me but I wasn't fast enough to take a pic. Other Yelpers who reviewed have seen more wild life though. The trail is really more like a park for the residents that live near by. I will come back by in the Spring to see if the landscape is more attractive! read more

This is a neighborhood park. It's truly a neighborhood park because there is no parking anywhere at the park or within a mile or so of the park. It can only be gotten to by walking from one of the neighborhoods nearby or riding a bike like I've done several times. The neighborhoods nearby are all gated communities on the TCP courses so it's unlikely you can park in one of them. The walkway is only 8/10 of a mile but it is lined with benches, has wonderful desert landscaping, and from the park you have a good view of the city in the distance. Every 1/10 of a mile on the paved trail, there's a section of smooth concrete with added animal foot prints. This is a way of knowing how far or how fast you're walking the trail. I'm not sure if there are plans to ever put a parking area here, but eventually, this trail is supposed to connect with the Angel Park Trail and then it would be available to more people. Until such time, live nearby, walk a fair distance, or get on your bike and ride! It's a pretty place. read more

Looks like a paved trail in a high end community. I guess if you're a local it would be nice but if not don't waste your time!

Love to go this park with our dogs Nice and clean and quiet trail . We had great relax time ever read more

Hualapai Canyon Trailhead is a very nice place to walk your dog or just to take a break and enjoy nature. The parking lot is small, but there are restrooms and water fountains if needed. The trails are paved with plenty of benches and trash cans throughout. I was pleasantly surprised as how well maintained the facilities are. I'm definitely going to hang out here again. read more

The odds of winning the Powerball are one in 175 million to one in 292 million. The odds in feeling like you won the Powerball are zilch when you escape to the Hualapai Canyon Trail. Walking on the 0.8 mile Hualapai Canyon Trail takes you to an ethereal place physically and mentally that money can't buy. The Hualapai Canyon Park is located in the shadows of the TPC Golf Course on the rolling hills of Summerlin, Las Vegas, Nevada between the mesmerizing Spring Mountains and Las Vegas Strip. The trailhead sits off a relatively new parking lot connected to Hualapai Way between Alta Drive and Town Center Drive. Vegas is Sun City. The endless sunshine creates a hormone called serotonin. This boosts a person's mood and encourages a state of being happy, calm, and focused. Add to the sunshine the celestial gardens and open spaces, and the sum is a priceless hour in the park. This past Saturday, on one of the first Saturdays of 2016; I visited Hualapai Canyon Park. Because the park is relatively small and I drove across the Valley, I would hike it as a prequel to Peccole Ranch Walking Trail. The neat thing about Hualapai Canyon Park is that it is close by to many of the Summerlin trails including Peccole Ranch, Cottonwood Canyon, and Angel Park Trail. You can make a day out of exploring it with its sister trails. In recent times, the City of Las Vegas built a small parking lot at the trailhead. I wanted to mention this because a major flaw when the park opened in 2010 was a scarcity of parking. However, when I visited I parked in back of the professional building at the northeast corner of Hualapai and Alta. From there I walked a relatively short distance along the east side of Hualapai Way to the trailhead. This extended walk gave me a perspective Vista of the landscape that blends in with the TPC land to create a large expanse of open space in the City. My first impression was that this is a clean park. The city takes vandalism and graffiti seriously. Near the map of the park, the City has a sign stating to call the Marshalls at 702-229-6444 if you see graffiti. I am glad to report that I saw zilch. The layout of the 0.8 mile trail is the shape of a skinny oval that travels west to east in a xeriscape of desert gardens bordered by Hualapai Way to the west, TPC open space to the south and east, and homes to the north. Street lamps are interspersed with compass barrel cacti, teddy bear cholla cacti, Yucca trees, cacti, and desert plants. The landscape blends in with the distant views of the Spring Mountains. If I was unfamiliar with Summerlin, I might think that Mount Charleston was across Hualapai Way. Excluded from the park is a canyon. The park name came into existence from a naming suggestion contest. When you progress along the trail every 1/10 a mile there are concrete animal tracks. Speaking of animals I did catch a jack rabbit and desert mice. There are a sundry of benches to sit and absorb the scenery. My favorite benches were at the easternmost periphery overlooking the TPC land extending toward the Suncoast and Queenridge. In the future I could be looking at a freshly laid out Angel Park Trail extension connecting Hualapai Canyon Park to the tapestry of the Summerlin trail system. I couldn't get too comfortable where I would fall asleep on a bench. All the benches feature a divider. It is my understanding that this is to discourage the homeless. To make the most out of the park, I hiked the trail from both directions. Vegas is Sun City. Although it currently doesn't have the Powerball with a chance to become a billionaire; it has sunny places such as the Hualapai Canyon Park Trail that will make you happier than a billionaire when you take in the serotonin of the sun while following a windy white road through an ethereal oasis. read more

A decent little walking trail. The sights are okay. My main problem was the length. It's the kind of trail you can walk the entirety of in 10 minutes. If you're looking for a place to have a nice, longer walk then this isn't the best option, but it is good for if you're just wanting to take your dogs out for a little enjoyment. read more

Just 'okay' trail to walk during cool weather. Not a lot of trees so not much shade if it's hot and sunny. There are Agave and other interesting cacti. So many doggie poops that irresponsible owners don't bother to pick up! read more

To add to what has already been said, there are now bathrooms here. It is a lovely oasis to walk, observe the vegetation, or bike ride. I love the expansive view too. read more

Thanks to Norm K. I discovered this little park that is a respite, especially during the chaos of Shriners Tournament at TPC. As Norm explained, there is no parking, so on bike or foot is the only way in. TPC's are members/residents only access; except during special events. You cannot just waltz through the gates and park without clearing security. Either residents, Club Members (or their guests - who require a pass to park at either Club) are the ones the gates are opened to. The park itself is small and well kept and I'm looking forward to when it connects to Angel Park Trail; one of my favorite early morning/evening running spots. This weekend it served its purpose providing Zen moments during one of the most bustling Tournies in town. Otherwise, if you have access and want to take a short stroll or ride through pretty xeriscaping in a secluded spot, highly suggested. Kind of hope they don't add parking when the Trails connect so it stays pristine and more exclusive. Nice spot to collect your thoughts and glimpse some desert creatures. Typical of the area there are bunnies, coyotes, roadrunners and other critters depending on time of day/year. Yelp 100 Challenge read more

My dog and I decided to go out for a nice walk. Hualapai trail has beautiful landscape. Every time we come here there's a bunny hoping around the tail. There's beautiful views of the mountains and the city. You can sit on benches under the shade or enjoy some sunshine. The only negatives are no restrooms or water fountains. read more

Difficult to find and not that interesting. It's just a mid sized loop with many benches. There are some nice desert plants.

Discovered by perusing Yelp! and a only short run from my house I decided to check out Hualapai Canyon Park largely for a change of pace and although admittedly small with a general lack of lighting in the early morning hours I was surprised at just how quiet and well maintained the small space was, a ~3/4 mile track with markers entirely unoccupied during an 11 mile run save for a few small rabbits that seemed more curious than anything else. Unlikely to replace Cottonwood Canyon or the treadmill in my HOA-owned gym but certainly a place I'll revisit from time to time it never ceases to amaze me just how many tiny community parks are so close to my home. read more

Hubby and I have been wanting to check this out, but there was no parking. Well now there is parking and it was a beautiful Vegas day. Nice area to walk. There were tons of rabbits that would run and hide. I would go back. read more
