| - Lone Mountain is fun, quick, and very dangerous. I read a few of the reviews for Lone Mountain and some Yelpers state that this is an easy hike. I wouldn't go as far as saying it's easy. From the base to the top, the hike up is about a 1/2 mile and will take about 20 minutes on a 2 MPH pace (slow walk). You can make the hike even shorter by climbing it ninja style, but I DO NOT recommend this. The total distance and the time it takes makes this hike easy. The steepness and the slippery terrain makes this hike a little dangerous. This is one of those hikes that shouldn't be taken for granted. Just because you see a bunch of 10 year old kids and puppies at the top, doesn't mean that this hike is not dangerous. I advise that you watch every step that you make, especially on the way down. Once you get to the top, you're greeted with a 360 degree view of the Las Vegas. Views include Spring Mountain, Red Rock, Summerlin, Centennial, North Las Vegas, the park below, the Centennial In-N-Out, and of course, our beautiful Las Vegas strip. To date, I've only hiked up this lonely mountain twice. But I'm sure that's going to change soon. I like this hike because it's quick and will not take hours to complete.
