Outdoor Adventures

Go from neon to nature with experiences for every age and activity level.

Hiking - There are more than 185 hiking trails in the Las Vegas area alone, let alone the other areas of the territory. From easy, family-friendly hikes like the Historic Railroad Trail that takes you from Boulder City to Hoover Dam, to summiting one of southern Nevada's peaks.
Kayaking - The nearby Colorado River and Lake Mead offer plenty of opportunities for kayaking and water adventures. We've got plenty of local experts who can take you on guided tours.
Stargazing - Nevada offers some of the darkest skies for stargazing. For those willing to travel to mid and northern Nevada, you'll find 14 designated dark skies areas to enjoy, but you don't have to travel that far to see the stars. Las Vegas Astronomical Society hosts monthly stargazing events at nearby state parks, and Valley of Fire hosts full and new moon hikes. Plus the views can't be beat at Gold Butte National Monument or Mt. Charleston.
Rock Climbing - Belay on at one of Nevada's more than 300 mountain ranges, several of which are a short drive away from Las Vegas. Red Rock Canyon and Mt. Charleston offer two of the most popular rock climbing destinations near Las Vegas.
Hot Springs - Relax and take a dip in one of Southern Nevada's hot springs - Rogers Spring & Blue Point Spring in Lake Mead near Moapa Valley, or Gold Strike in Boulder City.
Biking - Mountain biking trails are plenty throughout Southern Nevada, but Bootleg Canyon Mountain Bike Trails is one of the best destinations nationwide hosting racing events.
