About the Program

First Visit Guide
What most outdoor and hiking programs expect. Confirm the details with Lake Mead - Lakeview Overlook before you go.
What to bring
- More water than you think. A liter per person minimum, more from May through September, because out here heat ends hikes long before tired legs do.
- Closed-toe shoes, hat, sunscreen, snacks
- A downloaded or printed trail map. Cell coverage drops fast in the canyons.
Before you go
- Check park hours and reservations. Red Rock's scenic drive uses timed entry part of the year.
- Start early. By mid-morning in summer the trails are a hazard, not a workout.
- Tell someone which trail you're taking.
The first visit
The easiest first outing is a ranger-led family program: short distances, shade breaks, and a guide who knows where the restrooms are.
For sensory-sensitive kids
Open trails are naturally calm. Pack ear protection anyway for windy overlooks, and pick out-and-back trails so your child always knows the way out is the way you came.
