    This is a great hiking spot! No shade, uneven terrain, and includes many bike trails. Has bathrooms and even a covered picnic table. Paved parking lot. Trail can range from beginner to intermediate depending on your path choice

    To my surprise, this trail is actually not far at all from Lone Mountain....on the opposite side. Bathrooms available, nice parking space, clean. A few interesting caves around. A few trails to choose from. We decided to head through a nice little trail at a slight incline that takes you to the peak (easily done, not much of an elevation). Easy/moderate I would say. If you decide to go through the lower middle area, expect a lot of loose rock and some ankle twisting. Other then that, nice views, and very peaceful.

    The trail is rated moderate, but it was very easy. There were a half dozen spots of incline for 20 yards or so, but nothing intense. the views were ok, nothing special. If you are looking for a quick easy walking hike that is close to Summerlin, this is a spot for you. Not a lot of people, maybe 20 or so when we were there (Sunday 8:30-10:30 am). Lots of dogs with those people. Do this in the winter when its colder, no shade anywhere that could cause problems in warmer weather.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
