Black Mountain Trail - Henderson NV Hikes (Things to do in Las Vegas)

One great aspect of living in Las Vegas are all the amazing hikes and trails. Quite frankly Las Vegas' best hiking trails are in Red Rock and Mt. Charleston, but we love Black Mountain trail because its right in our backyard in Henderson!

This hike is 6.8 miles long and is strenuous....you're hiking up a mountain after all! There is an elevation gain of 2,063 ft and the hike takes about 4 hours.

Don't forget, there is no shade and you are in the desert. This hike is best done in the fall and spring early morning or late afternoon. Adventurous kids should be fine on this trail. There is some scrambling (small rocks to climb over) near the end of the hike.

The same goes for dogs...if your dog is an avid hiker they will love this trail. We took our dogs on this when they were puppies and still had their puppy energy. Now, this would be too strenuous for them.
