I workout, but this hike kicked my butt! It's such a short easy hike but the elevation really got to me as most hikes up a mountain do especially having asthma. Besides that it's beautiful, refreshing, and takes you to a hidden piece of heaven. I love chasing waterfalls and when I went there was quite a bit of water which made me happy. This is a kid friendly and dog friendly hike. Like I said it's very easy and a short walk it's just the elevation that hard. When you get to the small canyon where the falls is it literally takes your breath away. The vegetation changes and I noticed all these beautiful yellow birds hanging around. If you are an avid bird watcher this is the place for you. The birds are friendly and practical fly right next to you. Tip! Park at Lower Cathedral Rock and go to the trailhead on the right. It's a short walk and then you will see the sign for Little falls.

I did not make it to the falls :( I'm just going to throw that out there. I under estimated how thin the air is up near Mt. Charleston compared to our lower lying desert community. I also under estimated how steep the trails really are. It started out steep from where I began at Cathedral Rock Trailhead. There are a lot of former trees lying on the ground all over the place. They are all mostly off the trail and even sort of frame it. There is a lot of gravel too. Gravel that makes a somewhat sketchy ascent and descent. I seemed to do alright heading up hill but found myself slipping on the down. However, I was exerting an awful lot of energy headed up and found myself gasping for air. I made it far though. At least far for me. I was well past the sign that read "Little Falls Junction .5 miles." I think I made it to the Little Falls Trailhead but I'm not sure how far up I was on it. I was getting tired, winded, shaky and uncertain of my stamina. I was afraid if I went further up the daunting incline that I would not make it back. I decided to turn around and head back the way I came. That meant another daunting ascent which I had only moments ago come down. I stopped a few times to sit on rocks and logs to catch my breath. After a few minutes of pushing myself to continue I made it back to the parking lot and almost fell into my car. I sat for a few minutes to take in the natural splender of the mountains and sip on some water. Then it was time to head home. I am disappointed I could not make the hike in its entirety. I am an over weight asthmatic who is trying to get into better shape. This was tough for me. I am proud for getting out there. One day I'll be able to push myself further. I just have to keep trying. The Mt. Charleston area is worth exploring.

Since the weather forecast had the temperature over 100 in Vegas, we decided to drive up Mount Charleston for a little reprieve from the heat. I've just heard about little falls from some fellow hikers just this past week, so we decided to give it a try. Easy to find once you know what your looking for with parking and toilets at trailhead. Paper signs mark the trail. Tall trees surround you and the smell of pine thickens the air. You'll feel the ascent, but it's not a long hike so the reward comes quickly. Piles of snow still clung to the edges of the trail near the top, where the water begins to flow on the trail itself. We had no idea to get to the falls we'd have to slop through the water, or we would've worn different shoes...oh well. Our soaked shoes were worth it, the cold falls were refreshing, no other hikers were at the top so we hung out for a bit and enjoyed the cool air. Not much room to sit, a few dry rocks at the wall of the canyon, trail is slippery so be careful. Lots of graffiti spoils the rock wall scenery near the falls. Please be kind and take your trash with you, we filled a grocery bag on the way down with trash we found on the trail.

After leaving the Visitor Center, I did the scenic route. The landscape was beautiful with all the different types of rocks there were.

If you love hiking, natural beauty, or want to get some great outdoor exercise while experiencing…read morethe opposite of what Vegas offers a tourist, I can 100% guarantee you'll love Love Hikes too. I sure do. I've done three Love Hikes hikes over the last three years, Valley of Fire Intense twice and Red Rock Moderate once. I could see planning my next Las Vegas visit around doing two or three of their hikes. What makes Love Hikes so great? * Great guides who know all the trails like the backs of their hands, are listening to you and will find a route that works for you. When I asked for the intensity to be tuned up on the Intense hike - that's what I got. A thrilling and challenging experience with a guide who showed me how to do what I would have thought of as beyond me. And when I wanted a moderate scrambling experience, I got exactly that. * Owners, Roberta and Jacob, Las Vegas Natives, who deeply care that their guests have a great experience and will do anything they reasonably can to provide one. * The assurance that while the environment may be unfamiliar and challenging (middle of the desert) you'll be with well trained people who exactly what they are doing and who will make sure you have a great, and safe, experience. * Incredibly reasonable pricing for the beauty, thrills, challenge (if you choose a moderate or above hike), and incredible convenience. * Pro tip: If you love taking video (guilty!!) and are on a moderate or above hike, make sure you have a hat or body mount since the parts you'll want to video most will require using two hands. Most recommended!

Our tour guides were great - very knowledgeable, didn't pressure us to climb anywhere we didn't feel comfortable.

You won't regret it. The views are amazing!

I was invited by friends to complete this hike today the first day of the new year and new decade…read more(1.1.20). I was excited to complete this hike as I have decided to complete a hiking challenge for this year and this would be hike number one. We promptly met at 9:00am in the Red Springs parking lot and begin our ascent up this so called staircase. There really is no set trail or staircase at all but lots of climbing and scrambling over and through large rocks. You just have to go with someone who has done it before and will guide you up the safest route possible. Luckily my friends complete this hike annually. I wasn't sure that I could handle this climb, but turns out that I was much stronger that I thought. It is strenuous at times and the cardio workout is real, but the reward at the top is so worth it. The views are epic from viewing the entire Red Rock Canyon and seeing way out toward Mt. Potosi. In the other direction seeing through Brownstone Canyon up to Mt. Charleston Peak. This hike also includes some stunning views of our beautiful city. I can only imagine how pretty it would be up here at sunset, but never mind going down would be way to challenging.

It was super light traffic at this time on a Sunday so I made it to the Red Springs turnoff at 6AM on the dot. There isn't a clearly marked route so I recommend you go with someone who has done this before. If you go alone, when in doubt, head up! Be careful of loose rocks and wear sturdy shoes. The view from the top is beautiful and overlooks the scenic loop and the strip. You can see the contrast of the city and the mountains. It's stunning and colorful. Bring a light snack, water, and your phone for pictures. It's not a long hike, maybe 30 minutes each direction, but it is moderate and tricky in some spots.

This is a great trailhead for those that are new to hiking or just love hiking in general. The trails are mostly flat that loops around (5 miles total) and you have amazing Mountain View's all around. It was really windy that day so because of this we didn't hike the whole 5 miles. Though I was wearing the appropriate shoes and had a full bottle of water and walking sticks on me, I still felt like I wasn't really prepared for this trail, since I had my hands full and I did not have a backpack on me. Though I live in Henderson, making the 30+ minute drive out of the city to hike Late Night was definitely worth it! While it was windy overall, the temperature wasn't too hot or too cold to hike.

A few years ago, the answer to this question might of come out wrong. I live happy in aiding and making sure that those around me are happy. My happy comes in sharing my joy among others. One joy that I have made mine over the years is walking. I can remember back to when I was a wee bitty thing, walking and running was a freedom that released all stress and anxiety. In high school I was in track and field. You get out on the field, all you can see is a hurdle; now run and jump. Empty your mind. You have to become one with the movement that your conducting. As I proceeded through life; life happened with marriage and family commitments. Now that the children are more independent it's time to rekindle a happy that once shaped me. This walking path gives me that old found joy in a new setting where I can find some new happiness for me. Someone the other day told me that, "happy looks good on you." For the longest time, I was lost in translation not knowing where to go. Sure the day to day mundane of living is never over unless your ready to give up living. The type of joy I am finding is something that is new. These pages have yet to be written. Leave something alone for long enough and it bites; this time around a second chance comes for me. My happy has been a work in process that has yet to be set. All those walks and silent moments that I spent on this path. Wondering what will be? Wondering if I could be? Wondering why I am being? Now remembering all these moments that led me to here and now. Happy is a bliss that we can just have. As a Leo my laughter and joy inspire so many individuals to be more than they can be. Achieve and reach incredible heights. All those that I touch with my words makes me feel so blessed. Happy is something that I can give to others, but achieving and discovering it's true rare ability is always seemingly beyond my reach. Don't take this the wrong way; the happy that I'm talking about is that true freedom that sets your soul on fire. It's the passion in life that leads to abilities beyond our realm of thinking . Can we achieve these goals? Yes? Perhaps no?! This is your journey of self discovery. It's time to begin. Look through a new lenses without blinking. Believe and you will always achieve. Walk it out, this is the reason for choosing this particular walking point. I'm rediscovering me. What makes me tick? What kind of tock are you? The trees as you pass one after another are mile markers along the path to the new form of you. Walk with me and discover the new and real you. Let nature inspire and shine for you! I'm willing to waste my time here and just learn to find the more important and complex me. I have arrived and know what my happy looks like. Find some happy beyond yourself in a little few moments that we can steal away from life for ourselves. The journey to self discovery starts now!
