| no partners | | | The weather is finally starting to cool down which means I can FINALLY start hiking in the city. This trail is really a bike trail but I saw several others hiking it too. I started from the Shaded Canyon Trailhead which is briefly paved, then turns into dirt. The recent rains look like they have damaged the trail, but it gets better as you go. I would classify this as an easy to moderate hike (I only say moderate because you have to watch your step in a few areas due to the water damage on the trail). But I won't lie, I worked up a little sweat on this trail! There are a good amount of switchbacks too. Mountain biking on this trail might be another story, unfortunately I don't know anything about mountain biking so check out the other triplogs for biking info. I was bummed that most of the hike is near large power lines, but what can you expect in the city... The trail does have some good views of the city and the strip though. I've been dying to see some desert critters out here and I thought this would be the perfect area (plenty of rocks to hide under) so I took several little detours to search but nobody wanted to come out and play! I can see myself doing this hike plenty more times. It is not the most scenic of hikes, but it is a great little escape from the city. |
