It cracks me up how people from out of town get so surprised and amazed to see that there is such beautiful nature hiking here in Las Vegas. Yup. We don't live in Casinos.
This place is very serene and refreshing, not to mention a bit challenging, It took me about 30 minutes to hike up to the top and I got to take a few minutes to just forget about the world. If you go early enough, you can get an amazing view of the sunrise as well. Watch your step on the way down!
