One of the most gorgeous hikes within the Las Vegas area, hidden just ten minutes outside of Henderson. It's a gem, and an unexpected one.
A must is a walk across the Colorado river (once you reach the bottom of the hike at the river mouth) to the Sauna Cave. Used by the dam builders during its build, this cave is a warm sauna hide away with a brilliant overlook of the river. Just don't get stuck when the water levels rise in the late afternoon. Enjoy!
