Hiking Around Las Vegas, Red Rock Canyon NCA, Blue Diamond Hill
 |
Overview The Jeep Trail is one of the Blue Diamond Hill Bike Trails, but it is only a short, 0.35-mile connector trail between Upper Cat-N-Hat Trail, Fossil Trail and the To-The-Top Trail. There are no boundary signs, but the south end of this old road is outside the Red Rock Canyon NCA on private property owned by the Hardy Gypsum Mine, so we probably don't want to trespass too much farther south. Link to trail map. For details of this area, see the Blue Diamond Hill Bike Trail Overview page. |
