Hidden Canyon - Henderson, NV

Hidden Canyon (this is what I call it) is located less than a mile from the River Mountain Bike Trail. In less than thirty minutes of walking you will feel like you have walked into a desert wilderness except for the constant airplanes overhead. You will find huge boulders as big as building. One of the boulders you can walk under.

Be aware when walking this trail. It is perfect coyote and mountain lion country.  A mountain lion was spotted in this area.
