You guys are visiting from Colorado, and you're gonna come to Red Rock Canyon. That's awesome! It is a slippery hike but totally worth it when you get those amazing views at the top! Thanks for checking out this video.
@@adventuringoutdoorswitheric we actually just moved from Denver, CO out to Scottsdale, AZ. So Red Rock Canyon is so much closer now. We shortened the commute!!
I bet that climb back down was just as hard as going up, but a real beautiful hike and beautiful area. It must have gotten a lot colder during the last push up. jacket on, hood up, love hiking in the winter. Cool video Eric. Have a great week.
Actually going down was much worse because of how slippery it was and you had to be extra careful. The hike is absolutely gorgeous the entire time which is a huge plus for all the hard work! There was only one part of the climb that was freezing 🥶 thankfully. The very top wasn't even cold at all which was a big surprise! I really appreciate you checking this out and thanks for continued support.
Another excellent video. Is that some drone footage I see spicing it up? I am so glad that Red Rock is drone friendly. As a person well into her 70s with severe arthritis and a paralyzing fear of heights, the only ways I can ever see what other people see from higher up is to use my drone, or to watch excellent videos like yours. (Note to anyone reading this: drones are allowed in most of the fee area. The exceptions are the LaMadre Wilderness Area and the Rainbow Wilderness Area, both of which are on the other side of the mountains which surround the Scenic Loop).
Thank you so much my friend I really appreciate the kind words. I am really glad you enjoyed the video as well. To be honest with you I do not use a drone nor have ever operated one in my life lol. The GoPro Hero 9 I use has excellent stabilization so it looks like it's flying when I put the camera over the edge. Thank you so much for checking out this video my friend!
Excellent views. I did this hike in 2013, and like you said I blazed my own trail for at least half of it. It was wild. Looking forward to doing it again this fall.
Oh cool I'm glad you're going to give it another shot! Yeah it's a beautiful hike just a little tricky though. Thank you so much for watching my friend! Much appreciated!
Yeah the is a beautiful and colorful desert landscape. Yeah I don't think anyone thinks that looks like a Turtle's Head 🤣🤣. Thanks for watching my friend.
I think you took the old way up where it’s a ton of scrambling. I recognize those rocks, haha. I just did that today. When I returned down I noticed there’s a fairly new path that’s so much easier, it’s where there’s a little U in the trail (hard to explain in comments). Awesome video!
Yeah I definitely got turned around somewhere 😅. I guess the main thing is making to the top. So glad you got do this hike because the views are amazing! Glad you enjoyed the video brother and thanks for watching 😀.
It is a challenging hike with big rewards when you complete it! Las Vegas Valley is a mid sized metro area with a population of approximately 2,227,053 people. It's not super spread out like some places. Thanks for watching Craig 😀.
AWEsome views up there ... we're not seeing why they call it turtle head either// maybe very vaguely but i dunno// but those views of the valley and steep mtns across the way there// Wow.. thanks for taking us with you!
I am guessing you have never been to Red Rock Canyon before. If you ever come out to Las Vegas skip the strip and come hike the trails here instead lol. This hike definitely had some awesome views! But you have to put in work on the hike. Thanks brother for checking out another video of mine.
The landscape views are so spectacular. I'm saving this video for later so that I can rewatch it to appreciate the views over and over again 😊 keep it up 💪
Beautiful hike! I love Red Rock Canyon and Turtlehead has been on my bucket list for a while. Good to know about the steepness and scrambling! Looked like a great day for you.
Yeah this is a hike you want to complete one day because it is beautiful! It is little more sketchy than a normal hike but as long as you are careful you will totally be fine and have a wonderful hike. Thanks for watching 😀.
Heading out to Vegas in a few weeks I hope to hit up some of the state parks and possibly camp, the first come first serve is driving me nuts lol. Love your vids
So I'm not sure about camping situations around Vegas but I hope it all works out for you. If you have any questions about the hiking trails around town you are more than welcome to ask me. Red Rock Canyon is awesome and you will totally love it. Thanks for checking this out :-)
Great hike and not a cloud in the sky, looked a great day, fantastic weather for October. Looked a canny pull towards the summit with a hard trail to try and follow but amazing views from the summit. It sounded real blowy a couple of times so what are you using to muffle wind noise on the Hero 9? Cheers Alan
It is a good steady climb going up that will make you break a sweat 😓. There was a lot of bad wind noises on my footage unfortunately and I had to cut ✂️ out a lot of talking scenes from the video unfortunately. I just ordered a Media MOD for my GoPro so hopefully that will help with the stupid wind noises! It's is such a beautiful hike and totally worth the effort! Thanks for watching brother.
Thank you so much brother! Red Rock Canyon is a super beautiful place to hike at and I am thankful that it's right in my backyard! Glad you enjoyed this and thanks for checking it out
Hello my friend! Nice upload! It's cool and beautiful shots! And nice nature view! I really like it! I really enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing! Have a nice day!
Great vid as always! I love this hike!....did it a couple of times. Eric, have you hiked Mt. Wilson? I searched your archives but didn't see a vid on it.
Thank you so much! You know what I've never actually hiked Mt Wilson before. Maybe it's something I should look into though.. Much appreciated my friend.
I don't think that it matters if you could see the turtle head or not, this hike was stunning! Amazing how vast the landscape is there. Nice touch that you can see the city too! Awesome video!
Yeah you are right. What should matter is the hike itself not if it looks like a Turtlehead or not. It's a really stunning hike to do and that's what the cool part about it is. Thanks for watching brother.
This hike would be perfect if it wasn't so slippery and hard to follow in certain spots, in my opinion! It's definitely not an easy hike, but the views at the top are so killer!! Thank you so much, my friend, and congrats on your summit!
Awesome video Eric! Red Rock is such a beautiful area. Funny it has similar colors that in Capitol Reef 😊 The elements were testing you LOL The views from up there were breathtaking with all the different rock colors and formations. You are in great shape with all the hiking you've been doing. Glad it was better than when you did it 9 years ago. I don't see the turtle head either... Still, it looked like an awesome hike! Thank you for showing us all this beauty.
Right when I started the hike I debated if I should still do the hike because of how windy it was. I obviously decided to go through with it and luckily the wind subsided after a little bit. I am definitely in better hiking shape now than I was before because of all the hiking I have been doing lately. Glad you enjoyed the video Alex and thank you so much for watching!
Yeah it is nice having this beautiful hiking close to me definitely 👍. The hike is incredible and yes the view are definitely amazing! Thanks for checking out another video of mine Anthony!
Ironic I’m so research on what peak and trails I want to do this time and I’m heading out there next week which is late October right before Halloween.
Yeah October is a great month for hiking around Las Vegas. Well I appreciate you checking out this video and I hope you have a awesome hike to the top of Turtlehead Peak!
Hahaha I guess if you squint and turn your head it can look like a turtle's head, but just barely haha Those views definitely seem worth the work, tho.That looks like some relatively intense scrambling you have to do, how long did it take to get up to the top??
Yeah I don't know one person who can make the turtle head out honestly. It's a bit of a technical hike and you do have to take your time with it. I believe it took me around an hour and 45 minutes to get to the top. Thanks for checking out this video.

that was some hike to the top but the view it gave was amazing, Las Vegas looked so small compared to all the land around it

Can't wait to do this one! Thanks for the video.
Yeah it's a beautiful hike! Enjoy it and thanks for watching
I hiked this today Eric. Was way harder than I anticipated. I was so out of breath at altitude. Great video.
This hike would be perfect if it wasn't so slippery and hard to follow in certain spots, in my opinion! It's definitely not an easy hike, but the views at the top are so killer!! Thank you so much, my friend, and congrats on your summit!

Excellent Eric, a bit of sketchy hike at times but you made it look awesome!
Yeah It was still an awesome hike but you did have to be definitely careful. Think you so much Mia.
Stunning views Eric! Must be great to have this on your doorstep, were you able to see your house from the summit?😉
Yeah it is nice having this beautiful hiking close to me definitely 👍. The hike is incredible and yes the view are definitely amazing! Thanks for checking out another video of mine Anthony!

@@adventuringoutdoorswitheric I've always thought of it as the shark fin peak, from how it looks from down below
@@geezerpleasers_OG yes I can agree with that lol
How long did it take you to reach the summit?
I filmed this around 3 years ago, but I think it might have taken me around an hour and a half to get to the top. Thanks for watching!
Can you see Calico Tanks from the top/is it in your video? Thanks
Well when you are at the top of Turtlehead Peak you are actually above the Tanks. You will see it if you know what you are looking for.
