    This is a beautiful trail running through Henderson and providing lots of signage with information even about the fauna and flora around. You can join walking groups to explore this trail if you don't want to do it alone.

    Now that it's cooler we aren't going so early in the morning. Get to sleep in for a change. They've done a lot of work, trimming trees & blowing leaves along the asphalt trail. Now they're cutting back the debris & removing some of the brush & trees down in the wash. Hopefully, all the work isn't affecting the wildlife too badly. We still see rabbits & road runners as we walk along. Use caution crossing Valle Verde even within the crosswalk, using the flashing light. Some drivers just don't slow down or stop. Must be in a big hurry.

    I vacationed in Las Vegas and ran the Upper and Lower Las Vegas Wash Trails and the Pittman Wash Trail. By far the Pittman Wash Trail was my favorite. I started at the Arroyo Grande Sports Complex and ran to Pecos Legacy Park and back (~6 miles total). I clocked 6.4 but I got lost crossing N. Green Valley Pkwy, because I started running down E. Windmill Pkwy before I realized I had missed getting back on the trail. Overall 210' of elevation gain on the way there and downhill on the way back. Beautiful scenery with a handful of other runners and walkers in the late morning. Very clean. I would highly recommend this trail over the other two.

    Great  for dog walking, running, relaxing

    Pitman Wash Trail Description The Pitman Wash Trail follows what is usually a dry wash through residential neighborhoods in Henderson, a southern suburb of Las Vegas, from Pebble Road north to the Arroyo Grande Sports Complex. The trail is paved and the wash corridor is fairly narrow. The trail features nice landscaping, benches and picnic tables, as well as water fountains and clean restrooms at Pecos Legacy Park. You will also find hiking trails, running paths and mountain bike trails down in Pitman Wash between N. Green Valley Parkway and N. Valle Verde Drive. Parking and Trail Access Parking is available at Pecos Legacy Park (150 Pecos Road), Silver Springs Park (1950 Silver Springs Parkway) and Arroyo Grande Sports Complex (298 Arroyo Grande Boulevard). www.traillink.com

    Nice! :)

    Decided to bike this trail as part of the Discover our Trails Scavenger Hunt the City of Henderson is hosting this May. If it weren't for this promotion, I would have never discovered how much fun it is to bike this trail! It is a great intermediate challenge (perhaps because I am a little out of shape right now! lol) and most of the views are quite pleasing. I will be back here often to bike or hike. Absolutely enjoyed it and had a lot of fun! Everything appears to be very well maintained and clean. I highly recommend bike and hike enthusiasts to give it a shot, at least once. It's even a great leisurely stroll! Moving back to Green Valley from Summerlin, it's little unknown gems like this that make the transition quite pleasing! :)

    trail through undeveloped portion of Pittman Wash
    Jim T.

    Pittman Wash is a 4 mile multi-use (walking, running, biking and hiking in some parts) greenway running through the newer parts of Henderson (from Pebble Road (near Eastern Ave) to Arroyo Grande Blvd). The wash was originally a natural channel for flood water to push its way west to east across Henderson and the city took advantage of the natural feature to 1) ensure protection from flooding and 2) provide a recreation area for residents away from traffic. On most weekends, you'll find the paved path filled with runners and bikers and families getting a little exercise. In one special portion of the wash (between Green Valley Pkwy and Valle Verde Dr), the city left the wash undisturbed in its natural condition. Nature trails run along the floor of this portion of the wash, winding along through Mojave desert brush and trees. This undisturbed portion is one of the few spaces where city planners in the Vegas valley chose to leave a natural feature among the planned roads and subdivisions. And it's wonderful.

    This trail has received a bit of a well-needed make-over that I really like. The lights all work and are now brighter, the trail has been re-paved and there are these cool artsy-type trail markers now with the name of the trail. I don't go often, especially right now because spring out here gives me a headache, but I really enjoy the trail. My dogs do, too! The new pavement is much nicer on their paws. Great because it's next to my house and you see the occasional exercise enthusiast, but whenever I go it's never too busy.

    A nice oasis in this busy city. Has a paved trail to ride you bike or walk or blade or whatever you fancy. We took our dogs down into the wash to explore. We saw plenty of plants and flowers. Birds were chirping and there were squirrels and rabbits crossing our path. A bit noisy near the edges, but when we walked down in the middle of the wash, at times it was total peace and quiet. We parked at the Pecos Park on Pecos/Windmill and the trail was easily accessible from there.

    The lower elevation end is at the east, so if you'd prefer to run uphill first, start at Arroyo Grande.

It's steep and you may have to climb just a little bit. Going down, just be careful and take your time. No shade, and can't imagine during the summer. Bring lots of water. Not crowded at all, and lots of parking as well, just no restroom. Great scenery with the top of the view, where you can see almost everything.

The trailhead is in the middle of a neighborhood. There's only about six parking spots, but people were parking on the street. It's almost a half mile on pavement until you actually start the trail. Just keep following the signs for markers 404. Once you get to 1.25 miles the trail will split. Keep going straight. Do not turn right onto marker 402. From here you will start noticing a big difference in the elevation. There are a lot of switchbacks. Be careful with your footing because there is a lot of loose rocks. It's a total of 3.6 miles to the very top. The last 3/4 of a mile gets pretty intense because you're going to have to actually climb up large rocks. You will lose sight of the flag pole that is at the top, but don't give up because when you least expect it you're at the top. The peak has 360° views of the Las Vegas strip, Henderson, Anthem, and you can even see the California/Nevada state line. There is a rock fort that you can sit in. There's an old military ammo box that other hikers left snacks in as well as a journal for you to submit an entry about your hike. It took me about 2 hours to ascend and 1.5 hours to descend. Difficulty was moderate to high.

It has a gradual incline which can be a pleasant challenge for some. During the hotter months it can be a bit of a punishing experience as there's no shade or trees, so just be aware. This trail is in proximity to a baseball field (fly balls should be considered if you intend to park your car at the trail head base) and a large park which is busy most times I've visited. The trail itself is not as busy, though, which is pleasant. Something else that is pleasant are the lovely panoramic views of Henderson and the Vegas Valley. This trail is for sure worth visiting.

I've hiked this trail a couple times before with my fam and it's been a long time since I've been back. The weather is finally cool enough for me to take walks outside again and I like that. With the record breaking heat that we had over the summer, it was just too hot to go for a walk outside. My favorite part about hiking these trails is that I get to enjoy the amazing views of the mountains, The Strip, and all other parts of the Las Vegas valley while I get my steps in. Dogs can tag along with you, but be aware that coyotes and rattlesnakes are very active along this trail. Also be sure to carry plenty of water and fully charged phone just in case. I hiked solo and didn't want to go way far out on the trail, so I just stayed where I could see all the views of the city. But I managed to reach my goal of 3.5 miles!

When I hike this trail, it's because I'm hiking through what's known as White Owl Canyon and after going through some pipes to get to the old road, I return to the car by joining the Shoreline Trail about a mile from the parking area for 33 Hole and the 3 Islands Lookout. Some volunteers have done some nice work over the last couple of years by placing boulders along the trail so one knows where to go. This section has changed over the 7 years or so that I've been hiking the trail. The boulders work now because the level of the lake has fallen so much there's little danger that the trail will be covered by water and the rocks become useless. In fact, it has been very discouraging to watch the level of the lake drop so much that you now have to leave the trail to get to the edge of a stream that was once the lake. It is nice to see the water fowl and it's a pleasant hike when temperatures permit.

Add to that, a bunch of great people and our resident hike expert Norm leading the pack, you got yourself one heck of an excursion! There were 10 of us on this chilly morning and it was my first time inside the Lake Mead Area. The views here are so breathtaking, pictures and reviews don't do any justice...you gotta get out there and experience this yourself! This hike is about 3 miles and involves different elevations, a bit of rock scrambling, going through a few tunnels and a brief time inside owl canyon where we saw great rock formations, and even an owl who was guarding his/her huge nest nearby. there were also tons of clam shells scattered around and old Budweiser and Coors cans from the peel tab era. There also was a random wood frame kinda thing during our hike which made all of us clueless as to why anything was being constructed. After a short walk on the paved road way, we looped around and began the trek back to our cars along the rock formed trail taking in the awesome scenery and a last scramble up the same hill we first went down back to the parking lot. Thanks again Norm for another great hike, and we'll join you on the trail once again for your next hike! ALOHA!!! Shaka Meter: \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ 5
