My sixteen year old son and I booked a moderate hike with Love Hikes and I would highly recommend this outfit to anyone that wants an “off trail” hiking experience. Our guide Mason was professional, very friendly and did an outstanding job taking us to areas of the park that I am 100% confident we would not have found had we gone out on our own.
I would highly recommend Love Hikes to anyone looking for an adventure off-the-strip and look forward the opportunity of hiking with them again in the future

Went on the Moderate hike. Went on an afternoon hike,in mid November and weather was perfect. Our guide, Laura, was very knowledgeable of the geology and plants of the area. She was able to give us all the hike we were looking for, even though we were all at different fitness levels. She took us to places that had great views and photo ops. She tailored the exact hike area to what the group was wanting to experience.

We had an amazing experience with Michael as our guide. He picked us a trail that was both a good workout but also filled with beautiful landscape. He explained some of the fauna we came across and gave good directions to best navigate the terrain. It was obvious he was sharing his passion with us and made it a very enjoyable experience. As an added bonus his music selection was on par.
Would highly recommend both Love Hikes and Michael to anyone looking to walk more than just ‘the strip’ in Las Vegas.
**of note we did the Moderate walk

We just got back from a moderate hike with Sarah! They were super accommodating by squeezing us in at the last minute. She was knowledgeable and challenged us based on our athletic ability. She also takes some FANTASTIC pictures. The extra water and snacks provided were wonderful. Would 100% book again, when we come back to Vegas.

Did the moderate hike at Valley of Fire today with Michael. It was an awesome hike. Micheal was informative and very accommodating - making sure we were comfortable during the few more challenging parts of the hikes - whether it be scrambling over the rocks or coming down through some narrow sections. Highly recommend the tour and would definitely use Love Hikes again in the future.

I booked a moderate morning hike for myself and my mom. We had a GREAT time. Beautiful scenery! Our tour guide Michael was extremely encouraging and energetic and made our entire experience a memorable one.

We went to the Valley of Fire and had a great experience. Nick was our guide and he was very helpful without being pushy. He let us set the pace we were comfortable with, lent a hand when needed, took pictures and in general was the best!

Sarah, our guide came right on time to pick us up at the hotel. She was friendly and very knowledgeable. She obviously loved doing what she was doing. My mom had some trouble with walking in somewhat rough terrain, and Sarah was there to help us get through hiking. Absolutely amazing views, history, and vegetation. Highly recommend it.

I have never, in my 55 years, stiffed a guide on their tip before. But I was blown away by how rude, unprofessional and nasty my guide, Daniel, was to me a few weeks ago.And how he put my safety at risk.
We called LOVEHIKES, which got stellar reviews, about the 5 am hike but explained we had no way of getting coffee. We were assured it was no problem. We asked about the extreme hike and were told you needed an adventurous spirit. I’m in good shape (hiking 2 /3 times a week),so I felt confident.
The tour was a disaster from the very beginning.
I can’t complain to your boss, Daniel because you seem to be the boss which explains the confidence in your abuse and total disrespect for me, your customer. I have never had such a terrible and dangerous tour. Here is my personal letter to you.
Dear Daniel,
I was so looking forward to this tour! I needed this boost as recently there was a death in my family and this is what the doctor ordered!
I was up at 5 am, waiting for the tourbus and when I asked about the coffee you told me it was a special favour. I wondered aloud if it was a common problem and you said no that there were lots of 24 hour Starbucks in the area. I chattered away, but you barely answered. Regardless that “there are many Starbucks in the area”, we drove an hour before you stopped at a gas station for awful coffee, warning me 3 times to be quick or we’d miss sunrise.That set the tone of the day.
I tried making amends.Perhaps we had gotten off on the wrong foot? Tonelessly, you answered,” everything was fine. No problem.What bad foot?“Yup,nope, maybe”. I felt miserably trapped. I cried in your car, Daniel, even before the hike. Now, i wonder what kind of person completely ignores a middle aged woman who is crying in their car? You asked us if we feared heights. No, we said. And we began climbing.
Then we came down. Huge sheets of sandstone at a horrifyingly steep angle which then dropped off, sheer cliffs at either side.You led ,we followed.You gave us little instruction. Helpless we were faced with this really terrifying descent. I’m not afraid of heights but am petrified of was falling off a cliff! You were furious. “Hurry up!”
I would have been more adventurous if you had been the least bit encouraging, helpful, understanding, or kind. Instead you were blaming, criticizing, brutally correcting. On the precipice I asked for techniques you could share; A way of placing our feet, which crevices to use. You answered, ‘there are no techniques just use your common sense”. I was beside myself, honestly thinking i was going to fall into the canyon. I asked you what the correct way to fall was. “Don’t fall head first”.
And, worst thing of all, Daniel was that you put our safety at risk with your irresponsible behavior. We were instructed to bring knapsacks and one of the women carried a heavy bag in her hand. During the last treacherous descent you started shouting at her to use both hands. And finally, grudgingly, took it from her. You had watched her carry it all the way down that mountain.
But, hey, what do you care? We signed the paper absolving you of responsibility.
Sincerely, Susannah

I was in Vegas on my own and decided that I wanted to do more than just lay by the pool, drink and eat as I'm quite an active person, so I emailed Love Hikes and asked if I could come and do an "Intense" hike with them on the Saturday coming.
They were really quick to respond and I was very lucky too as I was the only one booked in, so I basically had a private hike, for a tiny additional fee.
Jonathan picked me up directly from my hotel in Fremont at 5am sharp, and he was very friendly and made me feel at ease immediately.
The Hike itself was just stunning, people always think of Vegas as lights, gambling and drinking, but there are so many beautiful places to get you back to nature too! I had a great time climbing around the rocks and taking lots of photos, Jonathan was very patient and laid back, may I also add a very good camera man! :)
I would recommend this hike with Love Hikes to anyone who enjoys the beauty of nature and wants to get away from the chaos of Vegas for a few hours.
Thanks guys, if I had more time there I definitely would have done another hike with you.
I hope to be back and will definitely be in touch!

Is it ok to tip the guide? I gave him $20.00 is that a appropriate amount?

What type of shoes are needed for the moderate hike?

What is “intense” about the intense hike? Does it take really good coordination or ability to walk on narrow ledges? Do you have to be a dare devil to enjoy? Is it enjoyable for a novice hiker in good physical shape?
Written August 29, 2018
The hike takes you into an area where it is hot, usually very sunny, and at times the rocks are a challenge to navigate. You do need reasonably good balance at points since you will be climbing and descending. A few of the passages are quite narrow. The “intense” description is more of an indication that the hike is not just a casual stroll along a path. There is nothing “daredevil” about it, but there are challenges.

Hello,
Generally there is no preference from morning to afternoon unless you’re wanting to see specific wildlife. In the morning there is a better opportunity to see bighorn sheep versus the afternoon better opportunity to see different varieties of lizards. Hope this helps.

Hello. I would love to do one of your hiking tours with my son. I am 54 and worried I will be a burden, I am used to walking but not particularly fit do you have a tour you think I could manage?
Many thanks
Written September 15, 2017
Hello and thanks so much for the question. We do get this type of question on occasion. Most of our tour are very tailored to the group so I'm not concerned that you couldn't do it if you booked the right level option. I would recommend friendly for you. If you feel that your son might be a little bit more fit and aggressive than what we could do is work on a private hike option for you which would allow him to get a little more into the rocks and allow you to take your time. Is this something that might be of interest? There is an additional cost but it does make it more intimate for you and your boy. Then there is no worry of holding up other people in your party.

Hi - can someone tell me what the estimated pickup and return times are for the friendly and moderate hikes? Also how much time roughly is actually spent hiking itself for those two options? Thanks!
Written June 10, 2017
I recall they have early morning (5:30-6am) pick up times and then a midday and sunset options. I believe when you "book", it will pull time for you. The actual hike was three hours and we had the family friendly option. We were able to choose a few path options that challenged us, so we had a chance for an easy "scramble" and lots of opportunities for balance work! Your guide will talk through some options during your drive to the park. I think the advanced hike is an additional hour. You will love your hike..pun intended!

I'm traveling alone. Will I be with my own tour guide or be put with a group? I'm wanting an escape from crowds and this hike would be my choice but I really don't like group tours.
Written March 20, 2017
I was supposed to go on the hike with a friend but my friend decided last minute to not go and no one else signed up the day I went so I actually had my own private tour. It was great! No guarantee that will work out for you like that but they are supposed to be small groups anyhow, I think there is an option of a private tour but you may have to pay a little more.

Where do the hikes go, especially the intense level? I am interested in hiking to somewhere new for me. Already been many times to hike in Red Rock and Valley of Fire, as well as some trails near the dam.
Written February 26, 2017
Hello there. Thanks so much for the question. All of our hikes go to the Valley of Fire. We specialize in off trail rock scrambling adventures that are very much off the beaten path. Is this something you would be interested in?
Written March 1, 2017
Just how intense is the intense hike? There's no mention of distance, altitude climb, etc. in description. Are hiking boots necessary?
Thanks!
Written January 29, 2017
Hi Jeanie, I would not recommend going on an intense hike without hiking shoes. I did the moderate hike with my hiking shoes but there was one guy in my group who had tennis shoes and he struggled. I had never rock scrambled are Hikes mountains like this before. You are way off the trails (which was awesome) so terrain is a factor. You will be climbing, and I would guess it would span about 4-5 miles. I am in fairly good shape and in my mid forties- no way could I have been able to keep up without proper shoes or no experience with this type of hike. Views are beautiful. This company does an excellent job.
