Amazing that this trail is dog friendly to the very top. What a view of Vegas!!
What you need to know:
1. You will be climbing, so yes there will be plenty of steps on the way up.
2. Water. (duh! Bring it!)
3. Take your time, it is not a race.
4. Go early spring and NOT in the smack middle of summer!
Other than that. This is a fairly easy hike and lots of fun. Good for groups.
