City View Trail

City View Trail in Henderson is 1.3-mile trail that offers scenic views. Specifically, outstanding views of The Strip and entire Las Vegas valley. It is moderate in terms of difficulty. Location of the trail is opposite side of the Desert Willow Golf Course via Carmel Valley St. Corner of Cypress Mesa Dr and Tiger Lake Ave. The nearest real address is (1835 Cypress Mesa Dr, Henderson, NV 89012).

However, it is important to note that this trail is located on private property and is only open to residents and their guests. Nonetheless, Non-residents using the trail can be fined. Conversely, I have been going to City View Trail over the past 5 plus years. While only recently has the trail been open to residents and their guests “only”.

Equally importantly, the trail provides hikers with beautiful views of the surrounding area with gradual elevation gain of 285 feet and offers rocky terrain with several benches with no shade. For example, tt took me about 20 minutes to get from parking lot to the top. Nonetheless, a total round trip time of 45 min.

Chiefly, there are really great views of the city and the entire valley. Not sure why this is closed to general public. No one was around when I went last time. That is, it is one of the best views. For instance, I happened to go on a Monday around 11am.

In conclusion, if you want a fabulous view of the Las Vegas valley and the Strip, head up to City View Trail. No one has ever said anything to me, but in contrast it appears I have been lucky from what I have read. Lastly, you can find more information on City View Trail at AllTrails site.
