Great trails start here!

Views of a valley between mountains and beautiful vistas from the top. You can see out onto Summerlin and other neighborhoods, and the downtown skyline in the distance. The ascent is a bit difficult, but the descent was much worse, with lots of loose rocks and gravel - so watch your step!

Great place to hike. There are many trails to choose from. We took our 11 year old and he enjoyed it as well.

Hikes are as difficult as you'd like them. Very limited for handicapped access but lovely views. This is a great facility for shod horse riding. Large parking for trailers and a round pen. There is no designated picnic area. But just to the North is a more typical family oriented park

Very quiet in the morning. Has restrooms, parking is limited, large equestrian area for those with horses and picnic area. Unique area with hiking and horse trails. Sometimes these two don't go well together. Hiking has some breathtaking mountain views. Recommend early morning and/or late afternoon. Hours posted are 7am - 11pm. Dogs must be on leash unless in designated area. See posted signage.

What a great place for hike, the trails are extensive in beautiful desert terrain. How far do you want to go? Just round the hill and let your sense of adventure guide you. Easy to moderate with some trails going to the tops of moderate peaks. Nearby shops good for supplies and post hike refreshments.

The trailhead is located between two mountains that lead to a network of interconnected smaller trails. The looping trail is on the side of the mountain which is narrow with dirt and rocks that can get slippery in some sections. The looping trail has several exits to other trails that lead away from the mountain southward towards another range of mountains. The second mountain is smaller and has less elevation with a flag at the top. The pathway up to the flag is not clearly marked. In between both mountains is a dry river bed that connects to other smaller trails on the back of the hill. The southside has a development of houses that are visible as you hike. The parking lot is paved and restrooms are on site. Easy to moderate hike. I enjoyed it.

Nice place to hike If you are from out of town and want to get the real feel of being in the dessert. It has toilets at the parking lot.Take water a hat and wear good hiking shoes. You could twist your ankle. Its an easier walk for the elders but go slow. No need to rush anyway. The terrain is beautiful. This trail has ample parking to take your horse trailer. I didn't see any wildlife. I went on a week day when most people are at work. It was very peaceful. One with nature. A must see if your adventurous. You can also ride your Mt bike. But NO motorised vehicles.. I walked for about 45 min or so then turned around to come back. Breath taking views. its also free to do.
