First Creek Trail is a 3.6 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located on Red rock canyon in Las Vegas, NV.
My friends and I came out here this morning. It is my third time here. My friend bought her dog and he got cactus on his paws so put dog shoes on them. This is a nice, well marked good trail for kids and dogs.
There is only a slight incline on the way in, which made the way out very easy with a nice downgrade as we hiked out. The trail gets pretty bumped as well with large rocks on portions of the trail, but easily to navigate.The trail is very wide for most of it, so the other people hiking along side can move around.
We heard lots of wildlife. When we got to the end the creek was dry. The other times we saw a nice creek with ice cold, clear water.
The hike is about a mile across the flat desert snd before the mouth of the canyon when you get to the very first tree turn 90 degrees to your right and walk about 100ft to reach the hidden waterfall. There is a wide path to the top of the fall. Reaching the base of the waterfall requires some scrambling. But this time it was dry but nonetheless, we had a good exercise, nice weather and beautiful scenery.
