"Walk towards the good in life and one day you will arrive." Atticus…read more Happy is a state of being that YOU need to find and achieve on a personal level. Is happy something that you can have? A few years ago, the answer to this question might of come out wrong. I live happy in aiding and making sure that those around me are happy. My happy comes in sharing my joy among others. One joy that I have made mine over the years is walking. I can remember back to when I was a wee bitty thing, walking and running was a freedom that released all stress and anxiety. In high school I was in track and field. You get out on the field, all you can see is a hurdle; now run and jump. Empty your mind. You have to become one with the movement that your conducting. As I proceeded through life; life happened with marriage and family commitments. Now that the children are more independent it's time to rekindle a happy that once shaped me. This walking path gives me that old found joy in a new setting where I can find some new happiness for me. Someone the other day told me that, "happy looks good on you." For the longest time, I was lost in translation not knowing where to go. Sure the day to day mundane of living is never over unless your ready to give up living. The type of joy I am finding is something that is new. These pages have yet to be written. Leave something alone for long enough and it bites; this time around a second chance comes for me. My happy has been a work in process that has yet to be set. All those walks and silent moments that I spent on this path. Wondering what will be? Wondering if I could be? Wondering why I am being? Now remembering all these moments that led me to here and now. Happy is a bliss that we can just have. As a Leo my laughter and joy inspire so many individuals to be more than they can be. Achieve and reach incredible heights. All those that I touch with my words makes me feel so blessed. Happy is something that I can give to others, but achieving and discovering it's true rare ability is always seemingly beyond my reach. Don't take this the wrong way; the happy that I'm talking about is that true freedom that sets your soul on fire. It's the passion in life that leads to abilities beyond our realm of thinking . Can we achieve these goals? Yes? Perhaps no?! This is your journey of self discovery. It's time to begin. Look through a new lenses without blinking. Believe and you will always achieve. Walk it out, this is the reason for choosing this particular walking point. I'm rediscovering me. What makes me tick? What kind of tock are you? The trees as you pass one after another are mile markers along the path to the new form of you. Walk with me and discover the new and real you. Let nature inspire and shine for you! I'm willing to waste my time here and just learn to find the more important and complex me. I have arrived and know what my happy looks like. Find some happy beyond yourself in a little few moments that we can steal away from life for ourselves. The journey to self discovery starts now!

The…read moreside closer to pebble and eastern is usually my least favorite side to walk because a lot of the homes smell either of dog poop, smoke, or laundry detergent. It also has the least plants along that side, and is a bit flat. Biking is solid on that side though as its more even in the trail at the beggining there without areas that are getting repaired like closer to the opposite end. I feel like if you want to enjoy a really nice walk, starting on the side by the Arroyo grande sports park is more preferable. Around the middle of the trail is where it shifts a bit and changes. That side has more water and nature...also as dusk hits a lot of yipping coyotes. It can get a little creepy if you're alone. The trail has lights at night that go off from motion sensors, so you won't need a head lamp. There are multiple parks you can stop at along the walk, however not a lot of spots to grab food easily if you get hungry, so pack a snack if you are doing the full trail. They also have a whole separate trail closer to the old bridge that connects to pittman wash.

There's multiple concrete benches whenever you want to take a break from your trail activity. The trees are trimmed as to not get in the way of those who use the trail. There are auxiliary trails that go down into the wash area if you feel like exploring for a little bit. The local residences are usually out in full force when the weather is nice. Sometimes the trails can feel a little too narrow for the traffic on crowded days but not to the point where you have to stop or slow down. Just be aware of trail ahead and all is well. I've been running and biking on this trail for years now and it's a nice way to knock out some easy miles during a long training run. No matter how you travel on the Pittman Wash Trail, you're in for a pretty good time. Enjoy!

The…read morepurpose of my visit today was just to enjoy the view of the closely located valley and homes below and the much further in the distance Las Vegas strip/skyline and have lunch with my girl. The area is spectacularly clean. It was nice and quiet and overall very enjoyable. The Inspirada community is located in the southeastern part of the Las Vegas Valley within the city of Henderson, Nevada. It is a master-planned community situated in the southern part of the valley, offering a suburban lifestyle while still being close to the amenities of the larger Las Vegas area. Key Details City: Henderson, NV Region: Southeast Las Vegas Valley Proximity: Close to the I-15 freeway and the St. Rose Parkway, giving easy access to the Las Vegas Strip. Characteristics: Known for its parks, trails, schools, and community-focused atmosphere.

Rising above the Las Vegas Strip on the southern rim in Inspirada is a 2.2 acre overlook that…read moreprovides breathtaking views. It is the Inspirada Overlook (also called The Overlook at Inspirada).      One of the things I enjoy doing is touring Google Maps looking for new places. This is how I learned about the Inspirada Overlook. This morning it progressed from a virtual tour to real life when I parked at Anthem Highlands Shopping Center then partook in a walk through Inspirada that included the Inspirada Overlook.    This is a very small park that features a 2.5 desert garden with a gazebo structure. The diminutive walking paths lead to the gazebo structure and open grass space where the overlook is. Although the park is around five years old there was a plentitude of mature trees. Throughout the very short walkways to the overlook are plaques that mention interesting facts such as the exact lines of longitude it stands on, when Henderson was born, and other cool stuff. Above me on the trees, I heard the songs of birds. What I didn't hear was the song of dogs. This is a dog friendly park with a dog waste station.    I spent the most time at the open grass space overlook. This is an awesome spot to take in spectacular views of both Las Vegas and south Henderson. I will explain the view going in a clockwise starting from 12 o' clock at the north. At 12 o' clock (north) it looks down at a grand view of the Las Vegas Strip. From 1 o' clock to 3 o' clock  (northeast) it overlooks the northern neighborhoods of Anthem with the distant Sheep Mountain Range. From 3 o' clock to 5 o' clock (east) the view features Inspirada and the Anthem Highlands with Black Mountain and the surrounding mountains. From 6 o' clock to 7 o' clock (south) it takes in the mountains of the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area. From 8 o' clock to 12 o' clock (west) in place of an overlook there are new homes going up. When I spent time here around eight in the morning, it wasn't the best time to visit. I believe that the best times to visit would be during sunrise or sundown when the sun puts on a majestic show over the Las Vegas Strip and mountains.     Although I arrived here by walking, there is a moderate size paved parking lot to the south. The fact that there is a parking lot leads me to the impression that this is more than a park for strictly Inspirada residents. There is the possibility that maybe one day in the future the City of Henderson will take over the deeds of the park from Inspirada and expand the amenities. There are currently zero benches or picnic tables.    The centerpiece gazebo structure with the Inspirada name on it is both a community landmark and marketing tool that Inspirada uses to sell new homes. When taking these two things into consideration, it seems evident that Inspirada will leave the open space overlooking the Las Vegas Strip undeveloped.    In the future I plan to return here. Preferably it would be during sunrise or sundown when the sun puts on a mesmerizing show over the Las Vegas Strip and mountains.

Now there's a large parking lot with several picnic tables and benches and bathroom facilities. The tables are mostly shaded but that depends on the sun and the time of year. It was a pleasant place to spend our after hike time and plan our hike for next week. There are two trails leading from the parking area. One of them splits into a third and they end at an unpaved trail that is the south section of the Wetlands Park Loop Trail. You can take any of these trails from the picnic area to the Nature Center at the Wetlands Park and then come back here for a picnic. It would be a nice family outing!

This trail is in proximity to a baseball field (fly balls should be considered if you intend to park your car at the trail head base) and a large park which is busy most times I've visited. The trail itself is not as busy, though, which is pleasant. Something else that is pleasant are the lovely panoramic views of Henderson and the Vegas Valley. This trail is for sure worth visiting.

I've hiked this trail a couple times before with my fam and it's been a long time since I've been back. The weather is finally cool enough for me to take walks outside again and I like that. With the record breaking heat that we had over the summer, it was just too hot to go for a walk outside. My favorite part about hiking these trails is that I get to enjoy the amazing views of the mountains, The Strip, and all other parts of the Las Vegas valley while I get my steps in. Dogs can tag along with you, but be aware that coyotes and rattlesnakes are very active along this trail. Also be sure to carry plenty of water and fully charged phone just in case. I hiked solo and didn't want to go way far out on the trail, so I just stayed where I could see all the views of the city. But I managed to reach my goal of 3.5 miles!
