Hiking Highlight
Recommended by 2 hikers
Cliff Shadows Open Desert Park is a fantastic park located on the west side of Las Vegas. This is an extremely popular mountain biking area but there is also great hiking as well. On days after rainfall in the cooler months you might also see rock climbers climbing at the popular limestone crag known as "The Gun Club," just a few hundred yards from the lower parking area. The reason why climbers frequent this area after precipitation is because you should not climb on the sandstone in Red Rock Canyon after rain because it becomes brittle and can break.
