Las Vegas, Nevada

Most people will go to Vegas to hang out on the strip, but sometimes the best places are located just outside of the city.

While in Vegas, my brother and I wanted to go on a hike to see all that Vegas had to offer besides the world renowned strip. Through talking with some of the locals, we heard of a hiking path that went up to a grouping of natural hot springs.

While exploring the land, we realized that the trails weren’t marked so we just started going in the direction that we thought may be correct. We ended up going through these gorgeous rock cliffs and ended up at the Colorado River! Although it was not what we were looking for, it was a beautiful hike through the rocks. Each holding vibrant colors and distinct patterns from where water once roamed. In parts, the land was flat, in others, it was a good incline. All in all, I recommend visiting the natural parts of Vegas when staying not observing the strip.
