Frenchman Mountain Las Vegas
This is a very steep and treacherous trail. You climb 1,788 feet from the bottom on a dirt road littered by large gravel. You have to watch every step you take, and it is very easy to slide. Take a hiking stick to help keep your balance. The trail head is 6.6 miles from the park entrance on Lake Mead Blvd or 2.1 miles from Hollywood Blvd. The views are spectacular. You can see all of Las Vegas and Henderson if you go out on the far summit.
