- On this hiking adventure, I am doing the Lake Las Vegas Overlook Loop Trail for the very first time. This hike is right on the outskirts of the Las Vegas Valley right next to Lake Mead. This hike is labeled as moderate at 4.1-miles round trip and 594 ft of elevation gain. I'm not going to lie at the beginning of the video I do go the wrong way but get a nice little viewpoint out of it! I do get on the right trail with the help of allTrails on my phone and show you exactly how to get there. Lots of killer views of the Las Vegas Wash and Lake Las Vegas on this hike! If you are looking for a new place to hike in the Las Vegas area then you came to the right place!
For more information on doing the Lake Las Vegas Overlook Loop Trail Check out this trail on AllTrails.

THANK YOU FOR THE SOLID HIKING ADVICE FOR THIS TRAIL
I am glad you found this video helpful! Like you saw, I got lost in the beginning, but at least I found the right way afterward, LOL. Yeah, you will totally enjoy this hike when you finally get to do it for yourself. Thanks for watching, and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Such a lovely hike. The scenery is lovely and the views are amazing. Another wonderful video Eric! Keep them coming!
Yeah this is a local one for me. I was definitely impressed with this hike for it being first time. Thanks again 😀
Time to start caring ropes. LOL. That section did look iffy. Desert landscapes are so cool looking, especially with the clouds like they were in the video. Great information you were giving along the trail of when to hike it. Heat is nothing to mess with if not properly prepared. Alltrails has saved me a few times to. Great video Eric. Have a wonderful week.
Yeah I definitely know my limits and that was a No-No LOL. You know it's very rare we have clouds in the sky in Vegas unfortunately. But this day was great and I loved how the colors in the video were so vibrant because of it. Yeah I had to give a lot of information on this one because there's no trail signs or anything it and was very confusing. Yeah the weather here in Vegas is no joke and can honestly kill you. Lance I'm really glad you enjoyed the video my friend and I always appreciate your support. Happy Cinco de Mayo my friend!
Professional as it gets! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching this video.
Always enjoy your hiking adventures and this one doesn't disappoint! Actual enjoy the first times for a trail as I never really know what to expect...just adds to our adventure...thanks for sharing and enjoy a great upcoming weekend!
Thank you so much my friend! I am so glad that you enjoy my videos! I totally enjoy filming and editing them! Yes this one was definitely fun and adventuresome!! Appreciate you checking out another video of mine 😀
Wonderful I often bike from the Wetlands Park visitors center to that bridge, where my wife picks me up. I never knew about the Lk. Las Vegas hike. It’s on my bucket list. Thank you.
I'm so happy to show you someplace new! I've never done that bike ride that you do but it sounds like it's really nice. I hope you totally enjoy this hike when you eventually do it. Thank you so much my friend.
Great video, Eric! Love Lake Las Vegas!
Yeah it's a really pretty area! Thank you 😊
looks like a great place for an adventure with all the side trails and possible wrong turns! that first one was nuts wow/// awesome views and really cool seeing the water flowing through the desert. great hike thanks for taking us with you
Yeah I was really impressed with this hike and definitely not the easiest to follow. Yeah the first hike not for the faint of heart to say the least LOL. But when I found the correct way it turned out being a really awesome hike. Thank you so much brother!
Perfect weather for a hike around Vegas! This is why I watch trails on YT, so other people can get lost and give me tips as you did. Thank you for being our guinea pig Eric 😂 The views were stunning! It had a slight feel of Death Valley. Awesome you are still discovering trails in your area! Great trail and video, it is always a pleasure to come along.
Yeah this was actually a fun one to get lost on a little bit. But the reason why this video is longer because I want to make sure people are prepared when they come out here. I can see why you say it looks like Death Valley a little bit. I know there's still a bunch of hikes I need to discover in my own area and it's always so fun to do that! The weather was really nice and I was very happy that I had the rare occurrence of cloud cover. It's always so sunny here in Vegas and when it comes to filming it's not the best. Thanks for checking out another video of mine 😀.
Awesome hike Eric, great to see some different views of Las Vegas👍👍👍
Thank you so much Anthony! It is really cool to see the Las Vegas Valley from the top of mountains! Appreciate it brother!
Glad you were able to do that trail safely. Eric; that power line crackling sound would have me on edge & hairs standing up 😆
I subscribed to a 3-yr plan for All Trails last month; I'm sure that I will benefit from it.
Thank you Ana! Power lines are kind of a weird thing to hear on a hiking trail definitely. I didn't know allTrails had a three-year plan! Very cool!
Thanks for sharing Eric! Stay on the path! Monk
Thanks for checking this out.
That trail isn’t very well labelled is it! Now you know exactly how I feel when I get on the long path. At least there you can see how to get back, lol. Awesome views from the true top! Love that you have the place to yourself. Hard to imagine it’s that warm there. Most days still we can’t even put on just a T-shirt! Brr!
Yeah I know how you feel and it sucks not knowing where to go. I was fortunate I had a phone signal luckily. Yes it is always nice to reach the end of a hike with a Scenic Overlook and there's nobody else up there. Thank you so much Josh!
Wow Vegas never had that much appeal to me until I found your channel. What a beautiful area, love the bridge and all that water. Hard to believe its man made! Lol "no way in hell I'm going that way, its definitely outta my pay grade" 😳👍Glad you found the trail
Fantastic views!!!
Yeah we have some great hiking around the Las Vegas area. I really appreciated living out here a lot more after I took up hiking around 9 years ago. This was a fun one to get lost on. Alltrails is awesome! Yeah I definitely have my limits and know when to turn around lol 😆. But you're right the views were definitely incredible! Thank you so much Mia I really appreciate it!
@@adventuringoutdoorswitheric Always Eric. You inspire, share so many wonderful places and although this year has had other plans for my life (I get to live vicariously through my friends and plan for future hiking trips)
Thank you so much my friend, you seem to be a stand up guy and we share a deep love for the outdoors and hiking.
👍⛰🚶♂️🌵🌲🌞🐦👊
thanks for the video! i would love to see some hikes around Ely
Thanks for checking out the video on my friend. I don't have any videos of hiking in the city of Ely itself but I do have ones an hour or 2 away if that's what you are looking for?

@@adventuringoutdoorswitheric perfect thanks!
I'm definitely going to try that trail. With my arthritic knees, I'll take your option to do it as an out and back hike. I just downloaded the map in Alltrails so I'll have it available offline, just in case I can't get a signal when I hike it. Maybe we'll have a nice cool morning sometime in the next few weeks, before the 4 months of 100 degree temperatures gets started. If not, it's on my list for next fall.
Awesome my friend! I'm glad I was able to show you a hike that you can do much closer to home this time. The map is key and doing it as an out-and-back is still pretty awesome. We can hope for another random cool day hopefully this month but like you said the Fall will work as well. Thanks for checking this out brother.
@@adventuringoutdoorswitheric One tiny thing. It's "sister". Or given my age, "Grandma" would be fine.
Oh I'm really sorry about that. That was my fault I just assumed. My deepest apologies.
@@adventuringoutdoorswitheric No need to apologize. I was in the area today so I stopped by Terrazza Park for a quick look at the area. It was 104 degrees when I was there, so nothing but some quick photos and video from the bridge, but I'm definitely going back in cooler weather. Thanks again for posting your video!
glad you know when to say no that section didn't look good, nice hike but odd it's not that well marked, you had alltrails but maybe others might not (good advice on when to hike the trail I can just image how hot the summer months would be) even you got side tracked going up, cool seeing Vegas from the lookout
It was definitely a good trail to get sidetracked on. The views were definitely really nice but luckily I did find the correct Trail. Yeah I really wanted to give as much advice as I could on this hike because it's not marked at all and definitely I don't want anyone coming out here in the summer and dying! But this was really a cool hike and I'm glad I finally did it. The views were definitely very nice. Thank you so much Craig I really appreciate it.
