Even though we have been to LV…read morenumerous times, we had never even heard of Red Rock Canyon until we booked this tour and WOW, what a place. Absolutely beautiful and really diverse area that you would never imagine was 15 minutes from the strip. The tour itself was top-notch as well. We were picked up in a really nice Toyota Jeep thing and took a road that ran right beside the mountains, so the ride went fast. Our tour guide was very nice and knew a ton about the area and picked out a couple of great hikes for us. Not everyone will want to get up early and do this, but it was so worth it and we avoided the heat by doing it that way. It was very comfortable at the higher elevation and morning temps. We definitely got our money's worth as we were at Red Rock for over 4 hours and would have definitely never found these trails and views without a guide.

I was looking for a different spot to do a walk and the Lakes Fitness Trail popped up on Yelp. I…read morehave driven through the Lakes when I've taken out of town freinds to see water in the desert which always impresses them. I first went to park at the Lake Sahara South Park, but the area is shut with a gate. I drove around and parked at the tennis courts area which appeared to be closed. I started walking west on the sidewalk to Crystal Water Way. I realized there that the fitness trail crosses to the west side of the street where there is a sidewalk. I walked along here for a while until I saw the first chance to get a glimpse of the lake. I crossed Crystal Water and stepped over a low wall to a fence where I got a good view of one of the side inlets of the lake. Along the section I walked on the sidewalk, there are a number of exercise machines and some benches to rest and enjoy the pleasant weather--which wasn't yesterday--it was quite windy and there were some sprinkles. Once I had crossed the street, I walked along the curb. The nice thing about the community is the streets are only two lanes when they could be four. This allows for a bicycle path on each side of the street and parking areas between the bike path and the curb. This is where I did the rest of the walk and where most people were walking. When you get to the roundabout, this is where you turn--the direction depending on doing the loop clockwise or counter-clockwise. In a short distance after the roundabout, I came to the Lake Sahara South Park. It had been open for parking, but the gate was closed and locked. You can walk in the park and get a good view of the main section of Lake Sahara. From here, it was just a process of finishing the 2 mile loop. I did take a detour in the small area where I've eaten in three of the restaurants. A note about parking--I'm not sure how much is allowed along the streets. I parked at the tennis courts. They appeared closed and the spaces were empty except for mine. Across Lake East Drive from the tennis court is a large parking area that is not being used. It was the home of a credit card processing center and it closed years ago and there are many dozens of places to park although it's private property. Do not park in the small retail area. parking is at a premium and is unfair to the businesses. This is a pleasant loop with an elevation change of about 40 feet so it's basically flat. Enjoy!

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.

If you love hiking, natural beauty, or want to get some great outdoor exercise while experiencing…read morethe opposite of what Vegas offers a tourist, I can 100% guarantee you'll love Love Hikes too. I sure do. I've done three Love Hikes hikes over the last three years, Valley of Fire Intense twice and Red Rock Moderate once. I could see planning my next Las Vegas visit around doing two or three of their hikes. What makes Love Hikes so great? * Great guides who know all the trails like the backs of their hands, are listening to you and will find a route that works for you. When I asked for the intensity to be tuned up on the Intense hike - that's what I got. A thrilling and challenging experience with a guide who showed me how to do what I would have thought of as beyond me. And when I wanted a moderate scrambling experience, I got exactly that. * Owners, Roberta and Jacob, Las Vegas Natives, who deeply care that their guests have a great experience and will do anything they reasonably can to provide one. * The assurance that while the environment may be unfamiliar and challenging (middle of the desert) you'll be with well trained people who exactly what they are doing and who will make sure you have a great, and safe, experience. * Incredibly reasonable pricing for the beauty, thrills, challenge (if you choose a moderate or above hike), and incredible convenience. * Pro tip: If you love taking video (guilty!!) and are on a moderate or above hike, make sure you have a hat or body mount since the parts you'll want to video most will require using two hands. Most recommended!

PROS: Very close to the iconic and gorgeous Red Rock Canyon and Calico Basin (both of which offer…read moretons of great hiking trails and amazing vistas), the grocery store is only 10 minutes away if you want fresh food or need supplies, desert landscape is unique and beautiful and untrodden, the sunrises/sunsets can't be beat, plus we've seen wildlife like horned roads and jack rabbits. CONS: Not a lot of privacy due to lack of trees which is understandable in the almost-wide-open desert, sometimes there are very high winds, closed during some summer months which is wise due to the crazy high temperatures. We love it, but just know you'll be in the desert. It's not like camping in a forest or next to a creek.

Just 3 miles from the Red Rock Scenic Drive & Visitor Center and about 20 miles, and a world away, from the Las Vegas strip. The conservation area features hiking, rock climbing, bike riding, horseback riding. and scenic driving (reservations required October 1-May 31, 8 am-5 pm). Be mindful of the weather. Temperatures are scorching in the summer, and the campground closes seasonally during the hottest months (June 1-August 31). All standard sites include picnic tables, grills, and fire pits. (Some, but not all, picnic tables are covered -- a welcome sight on a HOT day). There are common vault toilets, trash cans, and drinking water (but no facilities to fill water tanks or to dispose of RV waste). All sites are nonelectric. The views within the campground are of a unique and pretty desert landscape, but they are not as spectacular as the scenic drive area just a few miles away. Temperatures were hot but bearable during the day and cooled nicely at night. The price was reasonable for a standard nonelectric site. $25 camping use fee, minus $12.50 discount for senior NPS pass, plus $8 online reservation fee = $20.50 for one night. Only two small quibbles to mention. (1) The signage within the campground could be improved. We had site 42 and drove around a few times before finding it. (2) There were quite a few restrooms with vault toilets. Each building had two separate rooms with toilets -- BUT the campground locked one side on two of the restrooms that we tried so only one toilet was functional. This created a queue in the morning. We would stay here again.

They do have some top ropes set up, but they were pretty far from the wall so you are probably just better off doing auto belay. The rope section is darker than the bouldering sections. I am colorblind and had a difficult time differentiating the color holds on the wall. Bouldering sections were a bit easier to tell apart. Overall, happy with my climbing experience here and may check it out next time I'm in the area.

I was at the front desk filling out waivers on my phone in one hand and holding my 1-year-old daughter in the other. A staff member approached us in a very rude and condescending manner about my 7-year-old "running under people," saying he made someone feel "infuriated." While I understand safety is important, this was his first visit and he was simply excited and once he saw the bouncy floors he automatically assumed it was like a trampoline park. Keep in mind we had to stay put for shoe fittings and harness's for my three boys while having my hands full. The issue wasn't being informed--it was how it was handled. The same staff member then told my mother, "this is not a daycare where you can just drop your kids off," which was completely unnecessary and inappropriate. At the time, I had briefly stepped out to my car to change my baby, and my children ages (7, 10, 15) were being supervised by their grandmother and aunt. Because of this interaction, I felt so uncomfortable that I stayed in my car for the remainder of the visit. We paid $75 for an experience we didn't even get to fully enjoy. We will not be returning and we do not recommend this place. Going by other negative reviews I am not the only one who had a bad experience with the same individual.
