I love hiking here! There's a lot of different trails depending on what you want, but you'll always have a good view of the strip.
I typically start at Shadow Canyon Access Point. There's a small parking lot (i.e. You don't have to park on the street) that fits maybe four cars. I've been there at all times of the day and have never seen it filled up. There's also a dog stand thing that dispenses poop bags.
If you start there, the trail is paved for about .6 miles with little to no elevation. Then it reaches a water retention basin. From there you can branch off to the "back" where it's unpaved and you're in the dry hot desert!
I usually keep walking along the paved section where theres a steady but slight elevation climb. Warning: I've seen a rattlesnake here before!
I love the views of the strip it provides, and of the surrounding mountains. And when I bring my dogs, other dogs and their owners that I meet are super friendly (& most don't mind that my friendly dog is off leash, theirs are sometimes off leash too).
It's a perfect place for viewing sunsets over the strip!
