Hikes · Nevada
Best hikes in Nevada.
Nevada is far more than the Strip: Red Rock’s slickrock minutes from Vegas, an alpine escape up Mount Charleston, and the frozen-wave sandstone of Valley of Fire. The desert hikes are cool-season trails — summer is dangerous — while Mt Charleston stays cool when the valley bakes. Carry water and start early.
