Hiking & Camping in Nevada

On the outskirts of Vegas, once the neon lights fade and the sound of traffic is replaced by the rush of the wind, the Valley of Fire is a geologic wonder that's best explored on two feet. On this Valley of Fire hiking excursion, marvel at Native American petroglyphs that are believed to be 3,000 years old, and enjoy the multihued desert scenery in Nevada's oldest state park. You'll also pass Lake Mead and the Moapa Indian Reservation. This small group tour lasts either 4, 5, or 6 hours - depending on the difficulty of hike you choose.

Take a break from the casinos and work off those free drinks with a hike through Red Rock Canyon, a favorite local getaway from Las Vegas. A guide will help you choose from three trail options to match your hiking level and interests. Enjoy sandstone scenery and desert vegetation as you explore the Nevada wilderness. Bottled water is provided, and pickup is included from select hotels on the Strip.

Enjoy a guided tour of Valley of Fire State park on this half-day excursion from Las Vegas. Aptly-named because of the blazing red colors of the sun reflecting off the sandstone formations, this is Nevada's oldest state park and the site of many famous film scenes, weddings, and car commercials. Your guide shares facts about the history, geology, desert plants, and wildlife along a series of short hikes, and lunch is included. There's also a stop at the visitors center where you can use the restroom and buy souvenirs. The park is about 60 miles from Las Vegas, so this is a great tour for those looking to get outside the city and see a bit of the Mojave desert.
