Trails · West of the Strip
A dramatic 195,000-acre conservation area of red sandstone calico hills about 25 minutes west of the Strip, managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Leashed dogs are welcome on the hiking trails and the 13-mile scenic drive's pullouts. Popular dog routes include the Calico Hills and Lost Creek trails.
It's the best scenic leashed hiking in the Las Vegas area, and the BLM explicitly permits dogs on trails here - rare among national conservation sites.
Dogs must be on a leash no longer than required by BLM rules (6 feet) at all times, and owners must pack out waste; an entry fee per vehicle applies. Summer heat makes midday hiking unsafe for dogs. Source: redrockcanyonlv.org (BLM partner site).
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
