Our group of 6 enjoyed a wonderful outing with Neil from Hike This! into Red Rock Canyon. It was a great adventure off the strip with beautiful scenery. Neil picked us up promptly, was very informative and personable. He lead us on a hike for a few hours through gorgeous scenery. He provided snacks, water, lunch and pictures he'd taken... more

My husband and I visited the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area on Oct. 8, 2009. Unfortunately, health problems kept us from taking on the hiking trails that day, but we enjoyed driving the 13-mile scenic drive and stopping at each pullout to admire and photograph the views. We did take the short, easy hike to view the petroglyphs (see... more

I love Red Rock. I have been there 2 times and my main reason for going back to Las Vegas this time was to hike at Red Rock. It is undisturbed nature at it's finest. more

If you’re looking for an amazing view, physical challenge and thrills off the Las Vegas strip, look no further than the rock scramble adventure offered by Hike This! From the moment Neil picked us up at out hotel, our group (of three girls ion our early twenties, looking for something beyond shopping and gambling) knew we had made the right... more

I got the opportunity to experience the beauty of Red Rock Canyon with a guided hike from "Hike This" and Neil Sobelson. Neil runs a truly professional guided hike through Red Rock Canyon. I booked my hike in advance through the "Hike This" website, payed in advance, and everything else was taken care of. I decided on the rock scrambling... more

The canyon is a wonderful way to see many red rocks close to Las Vegas. It is located 30 minutes West of the strip. The 14 mile loop in the canyon offers many places to stop and take pictures. We didn't go walking on any of the trails, so I can't comment on that. The entrance fee of $5 is... more

Just 20 miles away from the Strip (30 minutes by car - just follow the signs) and you are in an area that looks similar to the Grand Canyon - at least the color of the rocks. There is a circle drive 12miles and you have to pay 5$ entrance fee. You can go hiking or biking there but when... more

Just returned home from a week in Vegas which included outstanding day trips to the Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam, not to mention three terrific shows. But when I asked the kids (ages almost 18, 16, 13, and 10) what their favorite part of the vacation was, they all responded without hesitation, "Hiking and rock climbing with Neil." Neil... more
