Ok so the hiking trail for First Creek Canyon starts just north of the Bonnie Springs entrance. There's a little designated parking area off the west side of the road, which I only noticed because there were a couple cars and a couple cop cars there. There is a map and some information about the trail before you enter. If your coming from the south of Las Vegas you can get here by heading west on Blue Diamond. If your coming from the north head west on Charleston. It's a free hike.
This is a simple trail though we didn't do the whole trail, it seemed that way. It was pretty flat. One of the things I like doing while taking hikes is doing it barefoot. I probably wouldn't do it here, burro droppings. Nice trail for pets, kids, elders, everyone just make sure you take to normal precautions when playing in the sun.
First time out we failed to find the "waterfall". Second time out BINGO, well not really. It was June and hadn't rained for awhile so it was a pool of water http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/first-creek-trail-las-vegas-2?select=nv1Xq_oSsfsQSIBwPRO-TQ#D6SMlHDhKsKl82KzpzReaQ with some one dripping downstream. Probably hiking early spring or during our winter months would be better to seeing the waterfall in full effect.
Finding the water is pretty simple I don't know why did find it first time out, just looked for a lot of green plants, but if you can't do this start hiking in for about a mile. You'll see a fork in the trail where there seems to be a line of medium sized rocks blocking the right side of the fork, follow the trail to the left. Continue until you see a nice green and bushy tree at the left on the trail, there are some carving in the trunk of the tree. A nice spot to take a break in the shade. At the free you'll see another fork in the trail, take the right path and you should find the top of the cliff where water would fall for the waterfall. Follow the trail right of the cliff to hike down to the water level, you'll see some pretty cool looking large rocks. Watch your step going down. Watch out for mosquitoes. Looking down away from the water http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/first-creek-trail-las-vegas-2?select=nv1Xq_oSsfsQSIBwPRO-TQ#nv1Xq_oSsfsQSIBwPRO-TQ looks kind of like back home, who knew all this green was in Vegas.
Lot's of lizards along the trails just incase you're afraid of them.
Get out here before it gets too hot.
