Super fun hike with kids, and free to boot! Basically park at the end of Vegas Vista Trail and park on the right by the red rock patch. Turn left and walk down the path for about 300 yards. You will see a marker with a 1.6 mile hike. Go straight up (Or most likely zig zag) and follow those sprayed on blue apple core logos. There is a bench about half way through to sit. I would say this hike is not for beginners but easy enough to do for all if you are determined enough. It's about a 35 minute hike up and maybe 40 down for us. Your quads and glutes are definitely working out.
We came during December and it was cold up top with winds howling. Oh and it rained a bit on the way down so it can be slippery since some of the rocks were loose. Up top, you can sort of see the strip and sort of see Red Rock.
