Overview

Gass Peak Road is a great day trip through the Desert National Wildlife Refuge with beautiful desert and mountain landscapes. This trail will loop behind the Gass Peak mountain range and finish in North Las Vegas with spectacular views the Vegas Valley and the world famous Las Vegas Strip. If one is inclined, there is an option to hike to Gass Peak, one of the highest summits in the Vegas area for a breathtaking view of Las Vegas. There is also an underground cave to explore if you are brave enough. Plenty of small wildlife to be seen while driving this trail. This is a fairly easy and relaxing trail ride on a mostly dirt and gravel road.
