This is a project I'm working on to collect my favorite running trails around Las Vegas. Right now it's only the west side of town and mostly the Red Rock Canyon area because that's where I run. I will expand the map as I get more trail info. Send me your favorite trails if you want to help with this project. You can find me on instagram @ottoseth or twitter @sethotto.

Kevin's Four and a Half

Medium difficulty run that gives you a taste of the desert, some rocks, some hills, some technical switchbacks.

Mt Charleston

Charleston Summit Loop

If you’re in Vegas and want a reminder of what mountains feel like go to Mt Charleston. It’s only a 45 minute drive but it feels like a different world.

Grateful 8

Grateful for a ruggedly beautiful 8 mile run with good climbing up Bomb Voyage, nice views of Las Vegas from the overlook and an easy cruise down Fossil Canyon. You'll need the map for this one, there are some tricky intersections.
