Tips

Dead Horse Loop is a popular route up to the top of 3 Mile Smile and the Las Vegas Overlook. The climb is long and gradual, with steep washes, and sections of double track to keep things a little more interesting until you get to Satan's Escalator, which is a series of very steep switchbacks that many walk (so if you are descending Dead Horse keep this in mind!). After the escalator you can choose to continue on a jeep road, or look out for Dead Horse Trail just a little further along.
