Beautiful hike where if you go all the way way to the canyon it gets even quieter at the end…read more The canyon part does have some rock scrambling. Came in early February and there were some spots with snow and ice. Parts with ice can be slick so be careful. Beautiful views, nice trail, and pretty scenery all around. There is a bathroom in the parking lot.

We had several patches of snow towards the end in mid March but that made it fun, hiking poles were a bit helpful in the snowy areas. There were also a few small waterfalls from the snow melt. Suggest wearing good boots for traction any time of the year.

But about 3 miles in you reach a sign where you could either turn back and go the way you came or keep going which is another 3 miles back just another way. We decided to keep going and i'm so glad we did. The second half of the trail was so much fun because it was more through the forest and had a tighter path with lots of rocks and branches. The path during the second part is only wide enough for one person. Super fun for me and my friends, but might not recommend for little kids.

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.

Many an early morning was spent running or biking from my house here on the way to Kellogg-Zaher Park, which connects to this trail. I love using it in the early morning before the sun rises and also at night after the sun sets; you get awesome views of the city lights because the trail is elevated in many spots. We were here recently again after a long hiatus since I moved to northern Las Vegas and the trail is just as terrific. Highly recommended for walking, running, or biking--watch out for the bunnies!

I enjoy riding my bike here for the ease and sense of safety from the bustling neighborhoods and busy (scary) drivers on the roads! Just for your awareness, this is a long stretch with no trees, benches or cooling stations- just a paved, clean path with varying inclines and declines. This is another great option to enjoy the outdoors with your fellow cyclists!

What a great little hike!…read more I took my two littles, ages 2 and 4 on this little paved hike. Since it is paved, a person can easily bring a stroller or wheelchair on it and during this hike, we saw plenty of them as it is a popular hike for families and groups due to the abundance of picnic tables you can use throughout the hike. The parking lot for the trailhead is on the opposite side of the street. The parking lot is one of the larger ones and there are bathrooms available there as well. Once you cross the street, you will then be on the paved path that walks parallel to the street for a good block or so and then it veers off, slightly downhill, into the forest. There are numbered picnic tables along the hike so it is super easy to bring snacks or lunch and have a picnic. I didn't see any trash cans so PLEASE be sure to pack up your trash and take it back to you. I saw plenty of wheeled coolers and ice chests so you could definitely pack one of those in as well. Mid-hike there were also little forts that have been built (which is fun for the kids - one even has a table inside) and another set of bathrooms. There is also a very small creek that runs along the path, When we were there it did start to rain very hard so we ended up staying on the paved path as the small creek was starting to get larger in size and we didn't have a change of shoes for the kids. Overall - a nice, easy hike for anyone in a wheelchair or stroller. You could pack a lunch and spend a good amount of your day there exploring and taking in the beautiful scenery.

The wife and I frequently walk on these trails for the work and boy does it work you out! Sometimes we run the trails, if we really feel like punishing ourselves. With trails like Toque, middle earth, the verbs, and Jenny from the block, you can easily get a 5 to 6 mile workout in on these trails and if you feel up to it you can scale to the top from a trail on the back side. I also take my Mountain bike up on some of these trails for some good fast fun coming down. It's a lot of good fun if you like this kind of stuff.

There is plenty of parking at the trailhead along with covered picnic tables and restrooms at the trailhead. We knew the trail wraps around the backside of the mountain so once we stepped foot on the trail, we beared to the right and headed NW. I wore my fit bit and can tell you our round trip from beginning to end was right at 10,000 steps. We took several water & photo op breaks along the way so maybe 2-3 hours. We are slow pokes and proud of it. The weather today could not have been any more perfect. About a 5 mile loop today. Speaking of photo ops, the scenary on this trail is breathtaking! All the rain we had these past 8 weeks made much of the entire mountain ( especially the south facing side ) covered in wild flowers! Everyone talks about driving to the Mojave Desert or Death Valley to see the wild flowers. Heck, stay in town and hit up this trail. Many species of cactus and Yucca trees. My favorite is the red barrel cactus. This trail is AAA +++. Bring the kids and have your own adventure on the backside of the mountain away from the hustle & bustle of the city. The front half of the trail runs behind a office building complex along Cliff Shadows parkway. I am already looking forward to my next hike back here. Of course, bring hiking poles, a hat, sunglasses, plenty of water. This is the time of year to hit it before the dreaded summer heat kicks in. Lace up your hiking shoes and have at it!

Griffith Peak is only the 3rd highest peak in Southern Nevada. Don't get scared. The hike isn't too…read morebad and it's worth it considering the view you get. If anything the distance is what makes this hike difficult. I don't know the exact distance but time wise it took us about 3 hours each way going at a decent speed with short breaks when needed. Most of the hike is shaded from traveling under tree coverage or between the mountains. There are also a lot of switchbacks and the incline isn't really too steep except for maybe the very bottom and very top. Along the hike, probably towards the middle, there's an overlook looking down at, I believe, Cathedral Rock or Echo Cliff. Be careful while along the edge cause it is a long way down. Near the top, there's a signage pointing you in the direction to Griffith Peak or Charleston Peak. You'll see that there was a huge fire once. The view from here is pretty nice but continue on towards the top of Griffith Peak to enjoy that view. There you'll find a box which I'm assuming there's some type of notepad to log that you made it up there. I was so busy enjoying the view I forgot to look inside. I'd diffently do this hike again. Who knows I might just decide to go to Charleston Peak when I reach the signage. Excellent hike. Being plenty of water with you to carry and leave some in car for after the hike.
