Less than an hour from Vegas, this national recreation area has a ton to offer.

This man-made lake on the Colorado River is underrated in my opinion. It has everything an outdoor enthusiast could want from scuba diving, hiking, horseback riding, all kinds of water sports, and plenty of camping options.

This beach is near Boulder City. Use the Boulder City Entrance, go north on Lakeshore Road for 2 miles. Turn right and follow the signs to the lake.

Stopped here on the way back from Zion. Nice place to stop and stretch your legs. You can take a little swim too

This is a good area to access Lake Mead to go for a paddle or to hang out at the beach. There is no camping here but it's a great place for a day on the lake or a quick stop when traveling past Hoover Dam.

This is a great place to stop on your way back from Zion NP to Las Vegas. I wouldn't recommend going here on the way there, as Valley of Fire is also a great stop, and has more to explore.

Relaxing at Boulder Beach

Boulder Beach at Lake Mead is a great place to get your toes wet while road tripping. It's a big beach with a campground, ample parking, and ducks! The water is very clear and an amazing blue. When the wind picks up there are little waves forming, so keep that in mind if you plan on kayaking or paddling.

Hike the Railroad Tunnel Trail

These tunnels were built to support the construction of the Hoover Dam. If you decide to go all the way to the dam, there is an elevator for accessibility along with stairs. This hike is relatively flat, and perfect for children - but mind the distance. Driving directions: From Las Vegas, NV, take 93 south through Boulder City, NV. Turn Left on Lake Shore Dr. If you drive past the Hacienda, y...

Goldstrike Hot Springs

The first mile is flat and deceivingly easy as you walk under a highway bridge and in between looming canyon walls. But don't get too comfortable -- at around the 1.5 mile mark you will reach the first of eight ropes along the trail and the challenge begins. You will need to use these ropes to maneuver down large rocks and boulders. There are arrows spray painted on the walls to help with di...

Hike the Boy Scout Hot Spring Trail

This trail is also accessible from the Colorado River just below the Hoover Dam. Walk through wash from the river then enter a slot canyon and encounter numerous waterfalls. There are anchored ropes to assist in climbing up some of the waterfalls. The trail features a hot spring, and is typically used by hikers. The trail is available for use year round.

Hike the Sunset View Trail

Spooky Slot Canyon

…Who doesn’t enjoy a little slot canyon fun, especially when it’s just off the highway. This (spooky) canyon is a fascinating slot canyon, consisting of conglomerate rock in the Lake Mead area in Arizona, not far southeast from the Hoover Dam. Most people don’t know even know this slot is here, so there's a good chance there'll be minimal or no people here. The dirt parking lot to the right of ...
