This is my favorite tail in Las Vegas! If you decided to do this trail bring plenty of water and proper shoes. The trail is tough and involves scaling 15ft to 25 ft drops, that on the return you will have to climb back up! There is no other way in or out. The trail is a little over 3 miles to the Colorado River. The reward is worth it though!
If you make it to the river you will be able to look up at the Hoover Dam!
The first 30 mins of the trek is also very easy, so don't be fooled!
Can you spot the lizard?

I have done this trail 3 times and still no clue how this car got here!
Or this other one...
The first challenging climb.

Once you start you you have no choice but to follow the narrow winding path or give up and go back!

One more climb with a rope before the first hot spring!
The first hot spring, while I have seen other people enjoy it, I never stop here. The first hot spring is nothing compared to the 2nd half of the trail and the other hot springs!
Part 2 will be out tomorrow with the majority of my favorite pictures from this trek.
I hope you enjoyed the first half! Thanks for your time, upvote, resteem and follow!
