About the Program
Wells Trailhead is an access point to Clark County Wetlands Park, on Galleria Drive in Henderson about one mile west of Powerline Crossing. A short walk through desert scrub leads to a hilltop lookout with benches over the Las Vegas Wash.
The trailhead also connects to the south side of the 14-mile Wetlands Loop Trail, which hikers, joggers and cyclists share. Bikes are fine on the loop, but the last 2.5 miles of the south side is unpaved, so it may not suit road bikes. Leashed dogs can come along. Restrooms are waterless, so pack water. Trails are open from dawn to dusk.

Special Needs Support
How this program accommodates different needs
Based on the provider's published information. Confirm the specifics for your child before enrolling.
First Visit Guide
What most outdoor and hiking programs expect. Confirm the details with Wells Trailhead 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.
